Jim acts like he has been here his whole life. Hasn't given us any problems. I took a couple of bred cows to the sale this weekend and they were right on time with when they should have been bred. I guess he is getting his job done too. Hardly ever know he is on the place except when the young heifers are bulling. He will stand by the fence and paw the ground, moan and groan. We run electric between the fields where we keep the heifers and the rest of the cows. So far, so good. He acts like he doesn't want anything to do with the electric. Hopefully I can keep him out a few more months, then everything will be ready to breed and be in time with the rest of the cows.
We started our 2nd cutting of hay today. Just a small field, 54 bales. We will be starting in the far field as soon as we can. Tractor was broke down most of the summer so we are a little behind. We have been holding off on the brush hogging because it has been so dry. Hard to believe after all of the snow and rain we had earlier in the year that it is so dry now. Crazy weather.
Jim is quite the nice looking bull! We've done two cuttings of hay so far, and I have enough for me. My nephew might do a cutting on the back hill yet if it ever dries out. Glad to have you back in blogland!

It is not true suffering ennobles the character; happiness does that sometimes, but suffering, for the most part, makes men petty and vindictive.
