Ya'll know that Al has been taking Cattle Breeding as a 4-H project for 3 years, now. This year, he finally got his first payday.
Papa shipped their calves last weekend, and Al asked him to put Blondie's steer calf in with them. Al got the check the first part of the week, but I haven't had a chance to share the gory details with ya'll, since I put in 45.5 hours between Monday morning and last night, up at the station...... :shock:
Anyway, the calf was born the end of April, and weighed in at 550#.......ole Blondie did good! Even better, he brought a solid $100.00/C........after all the deductions were made, Al still got a check for $515.69. He's very proud of it, in fact, he got me to make a color copy of it, and the invoice, for his record book.
I was really glad for him........his calf brought more than a good part of Papa's did, Papa told me......... :wink:
