The "latest" update

Hey all! Here is a little update!


First off, last weekend we shipped all of the yearlings! We run some yearlings on our ranch for Mr. Mackenzie. He will then pay us, at the end of the year, by how much they weigh. He then sells them to someone else for beef. So Saturday we woke up at 5:00 (even though we are ranchers, we are not accustomed to waking up so early....:)) and got started on the very busy day. After eating breakfast, Becca and Josh headed out to saddle up the horses while mom and I started getting as much food prep for lunch as we could. When the other riders got here, they all headed out to get the 500 head of cattle. Around 8:00 or so, Mr. Mackenzie and the buyer showed up. While we waited for the riders to come with the yearlings, we sipped coffee, ate coffee cake, and visited. When all of the yearlings were in, they headed out to help weigh while mom and I cleaned up from the mid morning snack and started getting food heated while watching the eight semi trucks line up for loading. By 11:45 the round up crew had finished and were HUNGRY. Everyone left after lunch and the rest of us rested. Needless to say, we slept in the next morning. :)



We are all making homemade gifts for Christmas, so we have that to finish up as quickly as possible as well! The gals will get to work on that while our guys go hunting November 1-4, in Tucumcari. We're all excited for that for different reasons. :)



Well, that is the "latest" update!! Hope to hear some comments from y'all!
