Jesus plus nothing. Haley's husband. Steer man.
I try to remind myself everyday. We aren’t moving cattle. We are raising sons.
Reflection this week as we take some time off the grid. This cattle bull run of past five years has been a blessing but I will confess it has also brought much struggle as it has made me greedier instead of more content. Your family is your greatest ministry.
Forecast says no sun next 5/6 days. Had to go look at some steers for therapy today. #highway20
Rain last night came with a cost. Lightning got 6 in this pen.
High winds. Snow much less than expected. Look forward to sunshine tomorrow

Ranch country. Couple days ago on a brisk morning took the wife & kids on backroads to pick up a piece of equipment. 120 mile round trip only thing stirring was cake pickups and bale processors.
Even prettier than the sunset are dry pens and cattle carrying no tag
Generally not a huge fan of bedding fat cattle but trying to keep these big cattle that ship out soon comfortable. Temps are -10 real feel in the morning all week. If the bedding saves $1 lb of body weight at $2 sale price it pays for itself.

Just got a couple inches here in north central NE. Cattle are comfortable. Those Big carcasses are coming in handy for insulation
Picture taken 1 year apart. Bottom is 2023 & Top is 2024. Might be best start to winter feed conditions I’ve ever seen. As big as cattle are I don’t want to chance it anymore. Everything in picture ships in next 10 days. Will clean us up til march/April
