I also want to make it vry clear,that I do not feel sorry for myself and never have so no need to treat me differently than anyone else on here I just wanted to be honest and admit to what short comings I may have so I don,t p-- any one off.I hope to have you all as friends.I do hope to get better as time goes on.Bear with me I,m doing my best.My goal has always been to put a smile on someones face each day and I promise to do my best.Heck I laugh at me I walk like a sailor who,s been to sea for 9 months and found the first bar.Ya gotta laugh.

Kettle River looks like a nice community. Is the field under the water tower used as a park?

Well, actually to go have coffee, then go to the ranch, feed cows, then go to work.
Cyril, A couple of good lookin boys you got their.I can see they must be in 4-H.You know I,v alwats thought that one of the problems with some kids these daysis too much free time on their hands.Nice to see young folks engaged in a good activiety.My grand son is coming to spend the weekend with grampa,so I,ll be busier than a cat on a concrete floor.

Don't let my daughter hear you say that...she's the one on the left. lol
They gave up on 4-H a couple of years ago due to the backstabbing that was going on. We all show Open Class (professional level) shows. My kids at the Junior level. It has been interesting to see the difference between the two. Part of it I'm sure was because most of the 4-H breeders had Angus and felt that everyone elses cattle were substandard to theirs. The Open Class Highland Cattle folk will bend over backwards to help each other out. It didn't take the kids long to figure out where they wanted to spend their time.
More later, I gotta get out the door.

Quite alright by me. She actually gets it all the time. Probably why she's so sensitive about it. The kid in the middle is a heiffer. She was about 4-1/2 months when that picture was taken. She'll be a year on the 10th. Here are a few more pics to enjoy.
Have a great weekend with the grandson!

Are your kid's in FFA?, We have a chapter here in Fallbrook, and I am always amazed by these kid's.
When we have the San Diego Co. fair in DelMar, the FFA exhibit is one of the best around. I always get a kick out of some
110# girl walking a cow around that outweighs her by a factor of 20

We're not rural enough any more to have FFA in the schools here. I show Open Class (professional shows) and the kids participate mostly at the Jr level and also help out when I have more than one animal in the arena at one time.
We do three fairs through the summer. I want to add a forth, but vacation gets tight. With all the half days the school keeps throwing in, it gets hard to keep enough vacation on the books to make the three we do. I'm hoping within three to four years to be able to strat competing at the National Western Stock Show in Denver, but again, it's going to depend on available vacation. Need about two weeks off in January to do Denver, plus about a week each for the state level competitions. That would be six weeks of vacation a year to do all the available events. I currently get 120 hours a year (3 weeks).
