Billy is Bindy's 2 year old steer. He has been out at my Aunt and Uncle's house with their cows for the last year or so but we brought him home last Friday and put him in the lease. We want to get him a bit fatter and then butcher him when he's ready, probably mid to late summer. He is 1/4 Holstein, 1/4 Jersey and 1/2 black Angus. The red tinge to his hair is just like his mothers! And that mulish look he gets from her too!! I guess he was some fun to load but calmed right down in the trailer and is doing well by himself in the lease.
The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing. But in our culture we apply for a curse and reject blessings. Something is wrong with this picture.

Deuteronomy 11:18-19
18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Pictures of the Lease and Billy the Steer!
The lease is looking great!! This area was burnt this spring and the piles we burnt were just off to the left of the picture. Papa has been doing walk thru's every couple of days and is loving the length and amounts of grass that is coming up everywhere.. too bad we can't put the milk cows in it. It's too far away to come in to milk two times a day and there is too much stuff they could cut their bags up on!
