For those of you involved in agriculture you know how busy certain times of the year are, for those of you who don't know, its time to learn. First and foremost you have everyday chores to do, feeding, checking and all the bumps along the road in the process also this year spring came a little late so it pushed back seeding. Seeding getting pushed back also set back other things, such as sorting and hauling cattle out to pasture, and starting to get caught up on all the little things that go along with maintaining a farm. But not just the late spring set things back so too did the several days of rain in a row that we had. With all the moisture we've had the crops might be a little late but there should be lots of hay and grass. Then there is all the other factors that kids have to deal with such as homework, sports, and activities. This time of year marks the start of many sports. Soccer, baseball, and football, too bad i'm so busy I don't even get to take part in my spring camp! But probably the thing right now that seems to take up alot of time in young ag enthusiests lives is the preparation for 4-H achievement days. Several clubs in the Calgary Region had their show last weekend being 4-H on Parade. I had the honor of Being a junior conformation judge for the steer show. It was a great learning experience and I had some fun doing it. I have my show and sale this weekend in Red Deer any of you readers that are in the area should swing bye and check out some of my good Charolais Cattle! But with all the things going on in everyones lives right now we just got to plug through er and wait till it slows down. Which truth be told all of us in agriculture know that never happens, I guess we can dream.
Until next time,
Luke
