Spring is here to stay. Livestock judging is pretty well wrapped up, and we're gearing up to compete at State Conference. We have some judging trips left yet, though. A contest in Kearney, NE which is right next to the Promised Land, a workout in Garden City, KS, and a judging camp and state contest in Ft. Collins, CO. Busy month of June is still up ahead. I've started in at my new job selling meat. We're basically a value added program marketing buffalo, beef, and lamb from North Dakota producers. We also sell pasture raised chicken from the western slope of Colorado. All USDA inspected for retail, and I drive a pickup w/ a bumper pull trailer full of freezers to various events and farmers markets. Pretty neat job. I recently planted some spring wheat, triticale, and oat plots for a Colorado State University study. We've been blessed with late spring moisture and warm days. I'm looking to get some pictures up of some green in the next couple weeks. I have some haying video from last year posted up on YouTube under the MYTFarms channel if you all are interested. For now, some photos of spring work and events in Colorado.
Spring planting. No, we do not own a Kubota. But the sucker has MFWD, AC, and a RADIO! Not to mention a sound guard cab! I was in heaven "working" all day.
A couple months back, I was out testing nutrients. The soil was powder dry. But, with proper care this summer, we should be able to put some life back in the soil and start building some organic matter to hold nutrients more effectively.
A final foto for you fine folks not interested in farming. Myself and, um, dear friend at a ranch horse clinic in Pueblo. :wink:
