Welp, it seems like several people read this post, so I reckoned I'd go ahead and update everyone. Been pretty good minus having a cold and taking the Colorado Standard Assessment Program test. :roll: Oh well. Cows are starting to get pretty springy. Hopefully, my heifer will be calving here come 'bout the first of April. Also putting in an order of baby chicks in this week. Livestock Judging started last Saturday. It was a hog workout. Done pretty good at 14th overall of some 40 or 50 kids. Plus, this is my first year in the senior division, so I'm playing with the big guns now. Have to get to bed in about an our (8:00p.m.) to get up at 5:00a.m. to make it a 7:30a.m. sheep and goat workout in Commerce City. Pretty nice place up there. Too bad they have to spoil it with judging sheep, goats, and wool. Have to say though, the shredded lamb served on hamburger buns for dinner is pretty good! Welp, here's some pictures of what our place and livestock look like.

Truck I'll be driving to judging competitions all over Colorado. No one is safe, so keep your eyes open! :D

Crane.jpg

Dad's off ranch job. Comes in handy sometimes, too.

Handiest investment ever made. Got a blade on the front that has pushed lots of dirt and snow.

NewBarn.jpg

View of out new barn from our driveway. Also a pretty handy investment.

WireBoundHay.jpg

Another handy investment. Good grass hay plus we get the wire for free. :D Can fix just about anything with baling wire. :wink:

steers.jpg

Steers loving life. Also, sticking their tongues out for the camera.

There's always a run on feed when I pour it in at night.

A couple of my favorite ones. They're kinda special.

Ever since we set that windmill up, we seem to get it in a lot of shots. Cloudy tonight, for a change. Maybe we'll get some rain. Well, to be with me. I got an early morning fast approaching.

Thanks for the pictures. Looks like you have a well-run diversified profitable operation. Good luck at the judging tomorrow.

Diversified, yes. :wink: We make a pretty good living at it. Thanks. Gonna need it. :D
 
Thanks for sharing the pictures. It's nice to see shots of others lives. Nice to see some chickens. The little ones hear keep reminding me about how we are getting some when we finally find a place in the country again.
 
Thanks to all. BMR, I'm gonna put a few thousand miles on that truck, and then I want to put a chipped CAT engine in it. For towing purposes, of course. :wink: :lol: I'll be getting some pictures of the inside of the barn. Yes, my steers take up residence in the barn during the summer. :roll: More spoiled than I am 'cause we don't even have air conditioning! Thanks again, and I guess I'll post some pictures up next week!

P.S.
For those interested, I done OK at the sheep and goat workout. Won first on the 20 question sheep test. Also got 7th overall in wool judging and 2nd overall with judging the live sheep and goats.

You had better thank Keren and Haymaker for teaching you about goats. :wink: :lol:
 
Thanks for the pics, looks like your living the good life there.
I used to run a picker much like that one, an National 1500 (36 ton) on a tandem steer kw. It was kinda cool, you could walk under the highboy and not have to duck your head.
 
Nice pics. Like the barn. It is the same style as the one my Great Grandfather built at our place in 1916. It is still our only farm building and is used everyday for saddle horses and as a machinery shed.
 
Thanks again to all. Sometimes it's good to be reminded of how blessed we are to live and work where we do. I very much enjoy my life here, and can't imagine doing anything else. Once again, thanks, and I'll keep you updated.
