I'll spill the beans in a couple of weeks.

today is the day when the heifers that have been at Stan's younger brother's go in the barn. The grass is still green, but it isn't growing and taking big round bales 41/2 miles to feed them is not horribly convenient. We're putting them in our daughter and son-in-law's barn to keep the kids Lizzie company through the winter.

We also go to pick up a beef, nicely cut and frozen, today. It's going to have to scatter through all the family freezers, as ours still has at least half of the meat from the January beef. Fortunately, there are a lot of freezers available. Hope she's as good as the one last year. She was another big, red, non-breeding heifer. Stan gave her all the chances he could, even raising a little bull to put with the breeding age heifers, but she was having none of it. I guess her purpose was different than we had hoped.
