@fuzzi .... looks like some good weed eater line... I got some that was a little heavier, am going to try it out in a couple of days, when I have a little time to work outside again.

Tested this evening, went fine. This farm is looking at putting in robots within the next year... They have talked about it, now it is going to happen. Waiting on some grant to be approved... They already have a barn that will be converted over and added on to.... need to build a big manure storage pit... required by the county/NCRS(NRCS) or one of those groups... I have been doing them since I started testing... Progress ????

DS texted and said he fed hay at snyder's... late this afternoon... they needed it this morning which I texted him last night... but what do I know... at least they got fed. He said he is fed 3 rolls to the cows that are calving there... another new calf today...
I am waiting on the last 2 at snyder's to calve.
Brought the samples in, will pack them to drop off tomorrow on the way to his Dr appt... then we will stop at the stockyard down near there on the way home...

So I am headed in to get a shower and try to get some sleep. This coughing keeps waking me up..

Requirements like that usually come at the recommendation of someone who sits in an office and doesn't know what they're talking about. They just have to come up with stupid, to show that they are relevant and deserve to have a job. Sorry for the rant, but so many thing's make zero sense.

I hope you can get some rest and feel better tomorrow.

DS has had a horrible cough, sounds as if he's going to expel a lung. Went to doctor. The cough suppressant Rx she gave him isn't doing diddly. I went to Wmart, looked for Vicks 44, couldn't find it, but did find gel pills of pure dextromethorphan. He's going to try those today, will let you know how they work.

Going to get a shower and to bed... Temps today 60-72... mostly cloudy all day, comfortable...

Drove DS to dr appt... dropped off samples at UPS, on the way; we went to the stockyard on the way home and watched some cattle sell... prices about what they should be, what DS paid friday for some... and a little more....and this is a small "hole in the wall" auction/sale barn with only about 200-300 head at a good sale...

I had gone up to the pasture and "the 12" heifers were on one side of the hill away from the rest of the cows so got to feed them grain by themselves... Did not see 319 closeby and the rest of the cows were all together so didn't even try .

Dr appt in the morning... hoping to get some answers...at the least, I want some blood tests done for a couple of the tick borne diseases...been doing alot of researching and leaning towards 2 different possibilities... not Lyme... we'll see.

Supposed to rain some more tonight and into tomorrow morning... hope it does...
