Today the Frankensteers left on 2 cattleliners. Has been tense the past few weeks as we searched the coulee for the 2 missing. Turns out they had been put back in our field by neighbour, Mr. Hawk. It is always a big event when the cattle are gathered up and loaded onto trucks for the journey back to High River. In this case the steers go to the feedlot to be weighed and Lloyd will be paid by the pounds they gained while here. I put my remaining 8 lambs into Lloyd's stock trailer to be dropped at the High River Auction Mart for a sale tomorrow. Apparently lamb prices are quite high now so I'm on the lamb!
Now Linda and I can get back to the garden harvest. Most of our potatoes are down the well pit and we have been brining in beans, zucchini and beets to make spaghetti sauce and borscht which we eat and put into the freezer.
Many jobs to do, water trees again before freeze up, wash windows, fence deer out of trees, cut wood for the stove, etc. Hard life. I hate it!
