Spring has been busy! It seems like we sort cattle, check fence, sort some more cattle and check more fence. Then irrigate a little with what water we have. These Gelbviehs' and Balancers' are going to work for the grass this year and we are ready to turn more out!

We were able to do our branding last week! All of our Registered and commercial calves have been doing well! The calves now have the YJ brand on their hip. Our brand is over 100 years old and we are continuing to breed and raise cattle worthy of it. The future is bright for the cattle industry and we hope these little buckaroos will want to carry it on. It takes alot to get everything done and we appreciate family and those involved to do it!
