Its Time!!!

The kids are beginning to get quite a little herd of cows and so this time of year is WAY EXCITING for us.. We become so involved in the process, the care and the comfort for our cows we have a special bond I am sure when we get more than what we have it may be just another birth... But for now it is quite an adreniline rush for each of us. Shaunie has not missed many of her cows giving birth and for wasatch it wasn't any different. Shaunie was especially glad to be there cuz she was able to put the gloves on when wasatch was in trouble giving birth... I was in the house and when Shaunie came in she was so excited with an adreniline of emotions...She said "Mom I could do this every day!!"

Shelby is always right there in the middle of all the help. Shelby tends to be the gopher girl she is always driving to the barn or grandpa's for this or that... She bought her another heifer this year at an angus sale. Shelby, Mick, Shaunie and Mom went to Ogden to the sale she had her picked out the night when we went to the preview show. On our way down it was a blizzard near willard, there were lots of cars off the road and then the traffic stopped. Shelby got a bit worried about the time knowing that her calf was at the top of the sale she was afraid we would miss it. So she calls her dad and he gets a hold of someone at the auction we had a 3way phone call going and shelby ended up buying it while we were sitting on the freeway stuck in traffic.. Good thing we have cell phones. Shelby is excited to be involved with the jr program they have an awesome jr program for these kids. There is always work to be done with the cows but, Shelby always finds a way to make us laugh and joke around when it is workin time.
