Tucker has needed to do a Great Brain Project for school this year and has had a hard time coming up with something to do it on so this was perfect. Nate and Tucker got the on computer and did some research on cows and the different ways to brand them. Found out some interesting information. I'll post his report when he gets it done.
Korey, the guy Nate works with, had about 30 calves he was branding and giving shots to today. It was really sad when we got there because they had the mama's and the babies in different pens and they were so loud. Just crying because they couldn't get to each other. I'm thinking it may just be my state of mind but it was really sad.
There was a big sand box at the house that Norma just loved! She may be the princess but give her dirt to dig in and she's in heaven. It was fun getting to go down there and help in something like this. Thank you Korey!

And you DIDn't tell me you were coming down? Bummer. Glad your kids got a taste of farming. They do get really loud when they are separated from their moms, and you can hear how sad they are. Isn't that funny. Wonder if mom's are the only ones that can hear it.I don't think I know this person. But that's okay.
We were going to stop and see you Natalie but Nate was covered in cow poop and wanted to get home to wash.
that is cool tucker got to help. i dont know if I would want to do that.
I knew you had gotten together for dinner, but didn't know anything about this great learning experience. How fun! Great Grandpa Thomas and his family would be pleased to know that Tucker learned about branding cows.
