Cassidy and Maddy were thrilled with their new water buckets for Easter. They were thrilled to water the Iris's that are coming up along the walkway at Grandma's house. We had a beautiful Easter Day. Church in the morning and a nice dinner in the afternoon. Hope all of you also had a great day to celebrate the Atonement of our Lord. Even with all of the turmoil we have a lot to be thankful for. Each of you coming into our lives and becoming our friends, that is a lot to be thankful for. We are looking forward to seeing those of you who are coming back to ride with us in 2012 and for those who cannot make it this year we hope the best for you and pray that you will be able to come another time.

We bought a new bull to breed to our cows this summer season. It was quite an event for those of you who have never seen or done anything like that before. We received a catalog with 634 bulls listed on the pages. Around 420 of the bulls were pictured and personal statistics were listed. The other 200 or so were just statistics and a name. Each bull was listed for those important statistics each buyer was looking for such as bulls birth date, birth weight, his weaning weight and several other statistics which we were not looking at for that moment. Listed also was the calving ease (small, medium, large) rating for the size of calf he will throw and the amount of milk that he will produce in his heifers. This was our second experience at buying a bull. The first bull sold for $45,000. and the others ranged above $3000. to $13,000. They were all registered Angus bulls sold at Pays Auction Yards in Billings, Montana. Great day.
