my new cud chewing beauty queen

I was just joking the other day that I had been out chasing next year's hamburger around the paddock.

I think Sirloin is a good name for your next calf

Sir Loin!

Sir Loin is the best kind of royalty. The kind that's gone before you're tired of them.

January 18.

That's going to be Carter's 'appointment with destiny'.

I got off the phone a little while ago from setting up the trailer and everything - and was suddenly a little bummed.. not because he's going off to the butcher (spoiled, destructive BRAT) - but because I couldn't think of anyone to call or text and say "I DID IT!!! An almost 3year long journey - from raising Eva and breeding her, to raising her calf to be a beef steer - is finally coming to a close. It's been a JOB and a JOY. I've learned SO much and finally feel the confidence to jump into this as a yearly event.
Most of my friends and all of my family would say "Oh.. that's so sad. Are you REALLY going to do it?"

Then I remembered all you guys and knew that you'd celebrate with me.

A few years ago when I called my place a 'farm' people would say, "Wow, you have a farm? What do you raise?" And I'd say, "Well, it's really just a glorified back yard. I have a few chickens and have tried to get a veggie garden to grow."
Now I can say, "I grow veggies to freeze and can. I have a flock of over 25 chickens raised for meat and eggs. I have a dairy cow and raise a steer for beef now and then."
