HAPPY BIRTHDAY MURRAY

On Sunday Murray had a birthday so I baked him his favorite cake - angelfood.Monday was an extra busy day. We did our annual weaning of the steer calves. It takes all of us to help round the cattle up and sort the cows from the calves then the steers from the heifers. Here Murray and Steven K. are doing some sorting.

After sorting, the steers were loaded on a cattle liner we hired plus our own liner.
The liner we hired was bigger!

Here is our own rig ready to back up to the loading chute.

This year for the first time ever in the history of Little Gem Ranches our steer calves went to an auction market instead of being sold right off the farm. They went all the way to Lethbridge so Murray took his load yesterday & stayed over for the sale. So far I haven't heard if selling there was a wise decision!

Also yesterday my cousin Adeline stopped in for the evening & overnight on her way home to Saskatoon from Calgary. With Murray gone for the night I was happy to have some company & we spent a lovely evening catching up.

Today was such a warm Autumn day that in spite of there still being some flies I decided to wash some windows. You just never know when that white stuff may decide to pay us a visit!
