If you click on the link in the post above, there is also a series of pictures I could not copy and paste which will warm your heart. It is pictures like these that make my problems seem trivial.

Your calving season is different than mine. I have all calving done no later than April with the early calves in February and the vast majority in March. The late breeders who calve in April are at McDonalds shortly after weaning. Perhaps my thinking is backward but I do not want a four (4) month old calf heading into the sometimes brutal Nebraska / South Dakota winter.
My Montana operation is the same, all calving done in the first quarter of the year in order to schedule Spring roundup every year on Memorial Day weekend.
My goodness how time gets away from us. Your beautiful daughters are growing up so rapidly. Hug and keep them close now, it will not be long and all you will be able to do is hug them, and then some other will get in the way of dad and you will be handing him your daughters hand. Beautiful family. Again, never fail to give those daughters plenty of hugs.
And get some air in the Nova's front tire in the event the oldest daughter wishes to take her for a test drive.
It would appear Sandhiller is prepared in the event an invasion from Oregon or Washington is headed his way. The pup up front a chocolate lab? Hard to tell but the pup in rear appears to have bushy hair on the forehead. Is the pup a different breed?
Great job teaching the little man how to fish. I have a similar picture of my granddaughter on her first fishing expedition. I backed the 20 foot car hauler into the pond outside my back door and on her first cast with her Barbie rod and reel, caught a small blue gill. She was thrilled and done for the day. One was enough!
