For Our Troops......

Welcome!

Either you're searching for some information and stumbled across here, or already know me and are interested in what I/we do. :)

The dairy cow doesn’t ask for much, but she asks every day.
People who are creating wealth with a cow either are hardworking and reliable or get that way in a hurry. This is the way it has been for a very long time.
--Joann Grohman (Author of Keeping a Family Cow)


There are three kinds of people in this world:
Those who watch things happen,
Those who Make things happen,
or you can wonder what the hell happened.
--Captain Phil Harris (RIP)



A few of words of wisdom I have come across:


Choose not to just live within your means, but live within your needs.


If you don't want to be responsible for or defend yourself, please don't expect others to do it for you.

(My translation: Buck up and learn some skills!)


Prepare for the worst, hope for the best!

"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the AmericanGovernment take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian."--Henry Ford

**~*~**Spread the word!**~*~**

Small Family Farms need our help when ludicrous charges have come up against them. Maybe someday it could be one of us on this "make an example out of you" chopping block.

Pushing back (via donations, interviews, getting the word out, etc) and standing up for what we believe in will send a clear message that we refuse to just roll over and give up!

When we know what we're fighting for, we fight harder--Sgt . Gary Stein (USMC)

THANK YOU!!!

Busy Weekend!!

Kyle playing Trombone at the High School Christmas Concert. He is on the end. :)

What a busy weekend! Friday we picked up Jared from the KC Airport.....its good to have him home!!

Saturday was our Russell Christmas party and a small birthday party for Jared afterwards. Lots of fun, good food and seeing how all the young ones have grown since this summer!

Sunday was Kyle's Christmas concert and not only did he play the Trombone, he also played the drums for the dance group.

All the calves have Winter Dysentery. :( Smelly, stinky poo that not much can be done about. Kind of like a human cold. Make them comfy, keep them hydrated and I'm pushing the probiotics as well. Thus far Dolly doesn't have it. But she's had it before and may get a mild case or not at all. Time will tell. Everyone is acting normal---goofy at times. They are youngsters after all!!
Friday during the night the stupid calves (one of them anyway-the white one for sure) managed to get IN the 100 gallon tank and smash the water heater. A) it drained all the water and B) the heater was damaged beyond repair to use like it should be. (Oh it still works, but the threads and seal is broken, and I didn't feel like playing engineer 101 to *make* it work. I just bought a new one!) I did keep the old one for an emergency back up.....IF I make a suspension cage of some sort for it!

Jared outside the high school:

This week means work, a Christmas Dinner, and then some R&R for everyone!! :)
