Tree Hay
Early this year, in January, I think, we had two big willow trees on the farm cut down from some 30-40 feet tall to about 6 feet tall. There were several reasons for this.

We answered the add for beef cattle feeder calves, the cheapest price we could find (not cheap) and Daddy and Ellie and Seppi made a day of it to go pick them out and… Continue reading Bulls!
