Runaway Steer

I know... I have been a horrible blogger! I haven't posted for about a week! That is quite a stretch for me, so I thought I would sit down and post today. The funniest thing happened to me the other day. Yesterday, we let our steers out on a friends pasture, and boy were they excited. We led them up to the pasture by lead rope instead of taking them in the trailer. When they saw the grass on the side of the road, they tried to pull us to the grass. When we wouldn't let go they pulled even harder, still to no avail. When we got them into the pasture, they wanted to run. As we were leading them to the stock tank, one of our steers (the one I was leading)  just, spontaneously burst out running, yanking me off my feet, and dragging me across the ground :P I kept holding on, as he drug me, about twenty yards, before he stopped! I must admit, it was actually kind of fun :P I haven't been drug like that, since I was learning how to rope, and got drug across the ground by a goat., We had a good laugh about it afterwards though. Anyway, here are some pictures for the day.

Picture of the Day

We got some more rain! We had a nice drizzle yesterday evening. We got only 0.05 inches, but it was still nice to have the rain. 

Yesterday morning, we leased a bull so that we can breed our cow. The moment he stepped out of the trailer when we unloaded him, he made this really deep moan/moo sound, and our calf just absolutely freaked out! He was running around all panicked. I had forgotten how small the bull was, compared to our dairy steers.

Cabelas and Picture of the Day

Well, Wednesday was busy, I went to Cabela's with my Dad, brother, and a bunch of friends, it was a lot of fun! A friend of ours had a membership, so we got in before it opened. 

There were people camping out front, waiting for it to open the next day. They even had a flat screen TV set up. 

They had these audio mountain lions, and bears and turkeys, that would go off, like every 20 minutes, it got really annoying. I spent a lot of time in the archery section.

Picture of the Day and Farms.

Well, yesterday, we were supposed to go berry picking, but as it turned out, there was a typo on the website, so we got the date wrong. It was a lot of fun though. They had this cool contraption called a "Hail Cannon" which you fire off before, during and after the storm, and its supposed to prevent hail from forming. 

We have also been getting so much rain recently! It is such a blessing! Our pastures are looking great! Anyway, enough blabbing! Here is the picture for today.

Baby Shower, Welding and Movies.

Well, the baby shower is this weekend. I have been commissioned to take pictures for the event, the only guy again...well not actually the only guy, a friend of mine will be there, not part of the shower, but he and I will play guitar in the basement when I'm done taking pictures. So there are benefits to it :P I wonder if I'm going to have a nephew, or a niece? 

This Sunday, my brother and sister-in-law, will stay Saturday night and all day Sunday for the shower. My brother is going to work on a crib, and I have to fix a broken weld on one of his brackets in the morning. It was a faulty weld, probably not enough heat penetration. It broke when it was dropped. Our Grandparents and Great Uncle and Aunt will also be coming down for the shower, so we get to visit with them for a bit, which should be fun! :) 

Last Sunday, we went up to LoveLand and went to check out a camp site for the fall, which turned out to be a dud, because the road we would have had to take was meant for a smaller car. The fellow we talked to, who had just come down the road, said "Yeah, you're a little long, and the trail is pretty heavy" so we went back down the mountain, and went out for lunch at a restaurant called "Henrys Pub" which has some really good food. I had a caesar salad, and irish nachos, which were so good! They were more like thick slices of potato, with a bit of cheese on top, and slices of jalapeno on top, it was good. Unfortunately I didn't get many pictures, because I forgot my camera battery at home *Ahh!* I was not happy :P  So I took a couple of pictures with mom's phone. After lunch, we went and caught a movie called "RED 2", that was really good for a sequel.
