Spring Break

So I sent Dustin home......again........and I had to stay in Missouri by myself........again!  But oh well he had a blast and after a year of vet school I guess he deserves a break now and then. :-)  If I could attach all the pictures he took while he was home, they would be 95% cows 2% other animals 3% family. J/K!!!  But the boy definitely does love his cows so I'll include a few pictures!

Dustin and Missy!!!! 

Some of the babies! 

When you go to Cortez for the auction you MUST EAT CHINESE!!!! Especially when it's this good!!!!  This is one of our all time favorite places to eat! 

You never know what your going to see at the Cortez Auction Barn.......that's what makes it so fun!! 

Coolest calf ever. Mom is a what we call maroon balley. No idea where this little guy came from. 

Abby our yearling holstein heifer that we paid $20 for. :-)  Looking pretty tall and pot bellied. 

Aubrey and her favorite Uncle Dust!  The comment here........"No Uncle Dust you can't go out to the farm until I get my shoes on!!!! I'm going to hold you here until I'm ready." 

Two biggest milk drinkers in the family!!!  They could probably go through a couple gallons a week by themselves.....if we would let them. :-) 

How can you not love these two faces???? 

Aubrey LOVES Missy. Missy didn't know if she loved Aubrey riding here, but Aubrey sure thought it was a lot of fun! 

 This is Kelli's new hobby. Sorting through 5,000 pennies. I know it sounds crazy but I got over $23 of old Lincoln wheat pennies out of the deal including two 1909 pennies which are the first ever minted Linocln pennies!  I probably have over 200 pennies from 1909-1920. I know it's weird but I think its fun.  Oh by the way I just brought another bag of 5,000 pennies home to sort through! :-)

Out of order but just a few more pictures from Dustin's trip home.

Branding calves.....How many men does it take to brand one calf???? J/K! 

Dustin doing what he loves!  Just wish I would've been there cause I love it too! Someday we'll make it back!
