Got the chance to spend a day and a half at home this weekend, nice change and things are looking very good.

Getting ready to run the heifers through this weekend and freeze brand. The only experience I've had is with dry ice and we somewhat had that down to a science but with the troubles with storing the ice for any amount of time along with the cost we are going to use liquid Nitrogen. Anybody...
