"Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."

~Hebrews 12: 1-2

Breeding Season

This will be short.

Breeding season has begun for our herd of cows.  I started artificially inseminating them on Monday the 20th.  So far we have bred 46 cows.

We put the bulls in with the heifers on Thursday the 23rd.  We used to start breeding the heifers first, but it is not enjoyable to train new heifers to the parlor without a nice group of cows to show them how it is done and to squash them in place once they do get in the parlor.  Last year was our first year of beginning to breed the heifers after we began to breed the cows and we liked how that worked out as far as freshening them in this spring.

I am insane for staying up this late.  It is midnight and I have to get up in about five hours to continue breeding the cows.

Goodnight all.
