Sale day is fast approaching and we are busy preparing for the sale. Next year’s prospects are already hitting the ground. Bulls will be ultra sounded on January 27th.  The results along with 365 day weights and scrotal measurements will be available on our website as soon as we get them. Sale catalogs have been mailed, if you haven’t received one and want one call or email and we will be sure you get one. Watch for us at Bull Days in Bismarck at Farmer’s Livestock on January 28th.

Gary had back surgery on January 16th to repair a bulging disk and take care of a bone spur. Recovery has been going well, but it is sure tough to limit oneself to lifting 10 pounds or less and not checking cows on the 4-wheeler. Luckily the kids have been home to help preparation for Bull Days. They have had to do some of the night calving as well.

Megan is returning to Animal Health International after a brief stint at Southwest Grain in Richardton. Her husband Dusty is employed by Whiting Oil and Gas as a pumper. They are great help and come out frequently.

Lindsey had a couple weeks off after Christmas while she waited for her new job to start. This was great help. She graduated from Valley City State University in December and has already been hired as a teacher! She will be a full time substitute at Milnor, ND, teaching until the end of the school year. She is excited to have a “real job” that is actually in her profession.

Aaron has switched his major to Animal Science and Ag Systems Management. He was signed up to show a heifer at Little I until he found out Gary was having back surgery. He is now planning more weekends at home to help out. He traveled to see the Bison win a National Championship. Go Bison!

Kirsten keeps running in all directions with work, church, and family obligations. She is checking cows at night, carrying all the feed pails (they weigh over 10 pounds) and still trying to go to work for at least half days. Plus trying to get woodwork and doors stained to finish our recent remodeling project. She finally told the carpenter to come back in February!
