    I Love a Rainy Night or day, especially with a tin roof. My second fave hangout as a kid was the tractor shed -- tin roof big overhang above door, facing away from weather. And a tin roof. First fav was top of an apple tree, with a book. Smooth bark and a comfy tree crotch. I could watch the world go by. See the neighbors going to and fron fields. Toward fall, I could pick apples for snacks. The apple trees were stronger than the peach trees. We had multiple orchards, a huge market garden just below my fave apple trees. Lots of grass to mow. Some as loose hay, for chicken houses, some to surround d the flower beds and house and out buildings. Dad loved land scapi g. We also had a small evergreen tree farm. Sold foundation plantings and live balled, burlap wrapped Christmas trees. On weekends, we went to home farm, walked and repaired fence lines. Counted resident live stock-- Herford beef cattle, to make sure no one, including massive resident bull, had gone walk about. That was rare. Uncles who lived there full time, did head counts daily. Just being responsible. My next door neighbors for the last 42 years, have the best fences I've ever seen. Also have a very musical herd bull this spring. He has that low bass rumbling going on, but also calls and bellows. Good memories when all the neighbors kept herd bulls. Spring was as much about the birds defending territory as bulls making music to entertain his ladies.

    The last couple Summers, Ive begged you guys to share some rain with us. Now? Gads, I wish we could share some of this unreal moisture hitting us. We are flooding, banks giving way so a couple barns are at risk of falling.... just a muddy MESS. So here's me wishing you some good soaking RAINS! 🤠

    Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable.
    Busy time getting things set up for the herd in summer time sun and heat.
    Those sun shades you have work good.
    Watch those bad guys doing the stealing. Glad your dad checked that car out. You never know who is doing what.
    You drilled that small three acres. Might just be too dry for that seed to work. Keep a close eye on it. Might have to reseed it. We had that before and had to redo after we got some moisture. Know you will watch it.
    Like your mail box. Make sure it stays standing. Ours was always being knocked over or bent over.
    You and dad do a good job of moving and rounding up herd. Pretty darn good at it.
    About it I guess. You all take care and be safe.
    Thanks for everything Sonne’s.

    6:20 'rent has gone up twice in the past two years' - that's basic supply and demand, the landlord see's the price of beef go up, he can raise the rent. If you could rent it to a corn farmer and get better rent for that land he would do it, but apparently you are paying the highest price and your income is going up so he can raise the rent.

    Very nice looking replacement heifers. This years calf crop look great! The 2 bulls you videoed going to work are handsome boys. I am looking forward to the calf tour video. Hoping you will show the bulls & talk a little about their pedigree. And, compare offspring from the different bulls, the differences in usual birth weights, frame, size, confirmation & maybe grade at sale of past offspring sired. Could help people getting into the cattle business an idea of what to look for & bloodline(s) they might want to pursue when buying cows / heifers & a bull.

    That was me and it happened a few years ago. That gal broke into the wrong house at 9:00 am while I was home alone, and she had a really bad day, BUT... if she hadn't been between me and my 12ga, she'd of had an even badder day. The newspaper got some of it wrong (big surprise). I got her with a kitchen steak knife, but she wasn't trying to leave, she had me down on the floor in the kitchen and she outweighed me by about a hundred pounds. Anyway, be careful. Thieves are pretty bold these days. Loved the video and I hope you guys get some rain.
