cows
Or they will be in T-minus 26 days...which means we still have a lot of work to do.
1. Fencing (the perimeter fence is shot and interior fencing needs to be bought)
2. Watering system
3. Buy minerals
4. Buy cattle panels
5. Build a cattle chute
6. Buy supplemental hay
If you are familiar with cattle then you guessed it...we have nothing done yet.. and the cattle are coming in 26 days....gulp...
We are getting about 20-22 Dual purpose Shorthorns. They are a good mix of cows, yearling heifers, a 2 year old bull and a yearling bull.
Oh and to complicate matters, this little snowstorm is hitting us as we speak...
Oh my gosh, that's so soon! How exciting!
