Fall is here to stay

It's amazing just how fast summer has left us.  The water on the meadow is on it's last change before being turned off for the good.  It's rather bittersweet, a bit more bitter than sweet lol!  Although I love fall, winter follows all to soon.  

Our second crop of hay was great, we fertilized everything after first crop and our second competed for tonage.  The first frost hit hard about three weeks ago, all the cattails are now brown and the milkweed is all crinkled up.  Summer is definatly gone.  It's still warm here during the day but you better have a jacket handy in the morning.

We've got most of the hiefers for the sale in.  It's been fun getting them all gathered up.  Right now there are 18 and we've cut and added a few times in the first initial draft.  They are all done bawling and started on feed good so my nights are getting a little quieter! 

The cattle are starting to head down off of the forest, as soon as it get's to cold they head for home.  They are rather pampered, they know where the feed is a little sweeter!  I'm excited for those calves home.  Dad ordered vaccine today.
