The pursuit of happiness? Today is the day our bulls go out with the cows, or as the bulls had it in their Google calendar, the really really really good day. So, despite it being a little warm to mingle, crank up your favorite Barry White or K-Ci and Jojo slow jams, let the good vibes flow, and let those bovine pickup lines work their magic.

Bin update! The old bins are gone, and foundation work has started on the new bin. They use a footer and pour walls like they would for a house as opposed to our smaller bins, which utilize a one-pour all-in-one pad.

Progress, I suppose. The 1974 bin served us well for 52 years, but it's finding a new life elsewhere to make room for some changes. Side note: the "rebar" the guys used pouring the foundation themselves looks vaguely familiar 🤔😏

Corn and beans going the ground! Temps aren't ideal, but we're doing what we can while the sun is shining.😎

Calving update: we've officially hit calf #41 for my DMB fans. Actually, it depends on how you look at it. We had 41 (now 43) cows that calved, but have already had 7(!) sets of twins (5 sets both lived, one set was gone at birth, one set had one that didn't make it). As I've said, twins are really not the preferred outcome, but we do our best when it happens. It helps when mommas like this one accept them both.
