What a great day to go out and have some 4H fun.  We traveled to the Salthawk Archery facility and shot 3D targets all morning.  There was everything from deer, coon, skunk, elk, bear, dinosaur, frogs, big cats and snakes.  The kids had a great time.  We ate giant plate fulls of bbq pork that was out of this world on flavor.  Thank you Salthawk for having this facility.

Grandpas headboard

I made some modifications to a headboard my Grandpa Wolf had built some time ago.  He had some magazine racks and hooks attached to it.  I removed them, adjusted the shelf on top so the headboard could be flush with the wall.  Next, I sanded and stained it in aged oak.  Then added the leather upholstery and finishing tacks.   I think it turned out well.

Checking Cattle

Sunday afternoon we checked on the heifers.  The weather forecast called for severe thunderstorms and tornado warnings.  These girls were camping out on top of the hill.  They had a pretty view.

Charlie was enjoying the moment as a group of heifers were checking him out.  This brave sole came out of the pond to see what we were up to.   He had another one check him out from behind.  When she touched him, it scared them both.
Ashley saw her pick of the heifers.  As you can see by her color, she will be easy for her to find in the pastures. 
Charlie was able to find Candy's calf.  She is getting all grown up now.

Fat Cattle

Most years we send our cattle to the feedlot and feed them out there.  This year we decided to keep the light end and feed them ourselves.  They went to Creekstone and the grade report was excellent!  I included a few shots I was able to take before they went.  Jamie
