It was a short numbers day all around at Equity. Only 85 calves and 191 total head for the day. Usually it is around 800-900 total on sale day. It will be really lots the first week in January. That's when the farmers unload all the stuff they hung onto in December because they didn't want the income in 2015.
Holy Moses............it's thundering, lightning, and raining like crazy right now. This is 2 days before Christmas and we are getting RAIN??? I am SO glad the SU fixed up the sump pump in the basement so it is automatic instead of flooding my whole basement. Wish we had done that years ago. Too soon old and too late smart, I guess.
Got the heifers sorted and moved during the worst rain, and it quit when we got done. Par for the course. Now, if they only had enough brains to put their heads THROUGH the headlock stalls and eat their feed. LOL Where they are now in the heifer barn they have sand-bedded free stalls to lay in. I think they will probably like that better, unless they employ their massive brains and back into the stalls, crap in them and then lay down. Bovines are so ignorant. But, pigs are the worst. Jeez, noting stupider than hogs and whoever said they are the Einsteins of the barnyard has obviously NOT had to work with them. I think 35 years of dealing with them gives me a pretty good insight..............
