Moving Cows.

Hi all,
Last Sunday, we moved the cows home. I had a little bit of a cold, so I took our old beater, Mom took the van, Andrew had his bike, Dad had my bike, and Cora took the 4-wheeler. ;-)
I will post a few pictures somewhere here. ;-)
Anyway, Dad, Andrew, and Cora went to where the cows were, and Mom and I took a better road, and then a trail, in such a way, that when the cows came, we would turn them so that they would turn and take the trail. Then, as it was hard to go in the vehicles, Mom and I went back and around the pasture. We got up to the road that the cows would come out on, and the more able vehicles brought the cows.
When we could see the cows, Mom got in front, Dad took the left, Cora took the right, and I fell in the back to join Andrew in moving the slow ones. When we got them close to home, we turned them into the alfalfa field on the back of our farm, and Mom and I let the the lighter vehicles take them in the pasture where Dad had taken the fence down earlier.

That's about it, here are some pictures. These first three are everybody getting ready to go, and the other two were taken by mom on the road.





Gotta go,

Jacob

Only two more days...

...until my birthday! Hi, yes it is only two more days until my B-day! I am typing at my computer now, Andrew is out working on the buiding, Cora is working in town, Dad is trucking, and Mom is working on two clients.
So how is everybody in Blogger world now? I am fine, as well as the family. The weather is nice here now, except for a little mud and snow. It is like 51 degrees here now. We are working on getting the sheating up on the building now, I think you can find some pictures on Andrew's blog. (don't know for sure, but I think He posted some)
Anyway, I am running out of things to say in a really big hurry, so I will have to go soon, but I went out on worked on the sheeting on the building yesterday with Andrew, and he is waiting for some help, so I kinda have to go.
