July 8, 2026 — Cleaning out the cattle shed

The cattle have been out on pasture since late spring, spending most of their time resting in the grasses or under the trees.

But when summer storms roll in or the crazy heat spikes, they head straight for the shelter of the cattle shed.

This week Jeff used the skid steer to scoop out their pens so they have a clean, dry area for the storms tonight.

A friend of ours loves this stuff for his gardens in Crete, so Jeff moved it all to an unused pen and loaded up Joel’s dump truck when he arrived earlier this evening.

Now the cattle have somewhere safe and dry to be whenever the storms decide to roll in.
