Was doing chores and decided to take some pics. Everything is looking good right now. These first four steers I bought over a year ago and are going in to be butchered next month. I'm keeping one half and the rest are sold direct.
The larger one in this pen is going in in July and is all sold as well. The other two haven't been scheduled yet, but I'm thinking next February or March when money frees up after the holidays.
I almost lost the black one with white face in this pen to acidosis, I had never seen or heard of that before and she got pretty bad before I figured it out. She is doing well now tho. I think these will go mid summer next year.
The pigs are looking good too, first ones go in next month too. Still have four of 21 left to sell yet, but have a month to go in one and the last three don't go in til the end of April.
I lost a couple pigs to worms because the first two wormers I bought didn't work. Not sure why, never used the first one but it mixed with water. The second one I used mixed in with the feed. I had had good luck with it in the past, so for a bit I didn't put the problem down to worms. Then in desperation I bought some injectable wormer and that took care of the problem. Then the dog decided he liked the taste of pork too and he got a couple. So I did buy some replacements. But lessons learned, so I guess it will all work out.
I will buy more pigs as these sell and I will keep my eye open for another steer or two that need topping off to sell this fall if I can find some. Been fun having them around, and with the mild winter has been easy to deal with.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
