TC Diary

Planting corn - notice all the dust.

We use this portable double alley way - works good and is easy to move.

Sorting cows to take to pasture.

Calves in holding pen while cows are being sorted.

The first corn is up and they had to run some pivots to get the later plantings up. We still have not had rain. The weather reporter keeps saying there is a "chance". By my way of thinking there is always a "chance". But I do know with every passing day we are one day closer to rain.

We bought an interest with McCumbers of North Dakota on a calf at Lindskov-Thiel Ranch in South Dakota. He is a Wulffs EXT 6106 son out of a Sitz Value dam. An intriguing calf that has great numbers and a little different pedigree.

The calves this spring are really growing. Besides the calves by our proven bulls, we are excited about the TC Total 410 calves. They have excellent eye appeal and are really growing. Also we are getting good reports from others about their Total calves.

We had some special graduates this year. Kids who had worked for us and several whose parents are special friends. It is hard to believe how fast they grow up and are out in the big world.

With school out it is the start of vacation time. Trude and the children spent a week in Wyoming with her brother. My sister and husband came back for her 50th high school reunion and Vance's sister came from Idaho for a visit.

With Mother's Day this month, I leave you
