Snow, Snow, and more Snow!

Fall this year lasted about A minute, we have lots of snow, wind, below zero weather and it is only Thanksgiving. So far we have had about one or two feet of snow; but in open acreage of flat ground and the wind blowing all the time it seems like a lot more.

I still have to go out and feed and water my steers and horses; boy it is cold! I still work with my steers at least twice a week no matter what. This is not the fun part of having 4-H steers but it is part of life if you want to be a cattle producer some day.

In weather like this I just make sure to wear the correct clothing; So bundle up and keep working.

I was told that "grand champions are made over the Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks".

REMEMBER "you got to want it to win it"

I had to dig out the water troth.

this drift went from one end of my calf pens to the other; and the water troth was under there somewhere!

I just kept digging until I found it and then had to keep digging so that my steers could get to it!

Can you see the corner of the troth, I kept working for about an hour and got it uncovered.

This could be a long Winter if I have to dig every day!
Here is hoping that the snow melts a little.

Got to Love NinjaJen

I started thinking about how hard it must be to find an older post on my blog for those of you who visit my blog.
So I ask my mom how we could make it easier for you? My Mom is not a blog building expert but she knows someone who is NinjaJen is that person; so mom went to her blog and looked to see if she has a step by step posting for how to add a search window to my blog, and what do you know she did. Mom added it for me and I listed some of my passed blog titles for you just type part or all of the title in the search window and it will take you to that posting. The search window is on the left side of my blog.
I have a lot more postings you can type in key words and see what pops up.

I hope the search window makes it easier for you to find the information you are looking for. If you have a blog or would like to build one go to the bottom of my blog and there is a link to NinjaJen's blog that is where Mom got all the cool effects that are on my blog.
Thank You Jen and Mom.
