Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

It's so much to go through all at once.

Its really hard on me not having any moral support here. We have been together over 25 years and he is a part of me. Not one person here to hold me or let me cry on their shoulder if something does happen. If it werent for Robert, my son still needing me I think I would just like to go with him.

Hmmm... I think you're right. Do you have to do business with him next time?
He has to be. The important thing is they can save his life.

probably not BUT it would be nice to keep that option open in case of GREAT NEED.

Hopefully by the middle of next month I will only have Porter and Tibbits in the main herd, AND the just 2 bulls born last summer.

I didnt realize age would be such a factor.

I am assuming by Snail mail.

Do you have the check? I thought you got it today

I JUST noticed those weights are in Metric not pounds

a pound is about .45 of a kilogram. so easy math is to just double those weights and your still going to get a "passing grade"

true BUT "they" don't want them that old evidently the meat gets tuffer after 3 to 4 years old.
