Well I've been away for awhile but livestock judging here at SDSU kept me busy as well as working as much as I can out at the ranch. As we all know its bull sale season and I just wanted to share the word about Wienk's Charolais bull sale that will be coming up on the 26th of April! I have been blessed with the opportunity to work with this wonderful family as well as the great cattle! I have attached the link to the website as I can't seem to attach the sale flyer. Don't miss the opportunity for some great functional cattle!

They also keep their facebook page updated with pictures of sale bulls as well as happenings around the ranch.

I have been doing great. I went back to work right after school started in August and helped put up silage and the such. My back is basically normal except for those few weeks where we had ice for weeks and we were all doing the Tim Conway shuffle. That messed with my back a bit but overall things are good. Just a blessing that I am able to keep doing what I love and keep working with a wonderful family and cattle.

How have you and your family been?

Everybody good here.
I hear you about shuffling on the ice. Bother backs and legs, not fun at all.
 
Moving pairs to and from the calving barn to pastures and other barns was definitely a challenge there for a while but we made it through. Got a picture today saying we got the last baby, so that's a relief.

I am glad to hear that you have recovered well from your injury. I have often thought of you since your accident - it is a sharp reminder of how quickly things can change for us.

Our son's friend and former co-coworker also suffered a serious back injury and was so fortunate to not be paralyzed as a result. So when I see him, it brings your accident to mind again...

You be sure to take good care of yourself!
 
Its one of those things that you don't ever wish on anyone. It also has heightened my awareness to the sounds of the hydraulics. I have always been able to hear the difference in the sounds, but its even more evident now. Just have to remember to be thankful for everything you have. The biggest realization for me was two days after I got home from the hospital, I had a family friend tell me that he didn't want to go to work on a Saturday and was complaining about having to go to work and that's when I realized that it is more about getting to go to work and being able, than having to go to work. I loved my job before and I love it even more now.
