First Week of Work

So here is a breif rundown of what I did my first week of work, there were breakdowns of the mechanical nature but we still got the silage in and the silage pit covered. So it was a good week.

August 25th Vlog;

Monday, I got a crash course in driving a tractor and trailer for silaging. It was rather easier than I expected but then again the silage pit was also high enough that I didn't have to drive my tractor over it...

Monday evening I made biscuits look how pretty they are!

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday were more of the same, although I also had to figure out how to back up a trailer full of silage into a specific space. But I'm happy to report that I got that done without breaking anything. Also, Tuesday morning we sent a bunch of steers to auction, which was not as difficult as it could have been although there were a few iffy moments. And of course Wednesday evening was Knighthaven. Which was okay, but not spectacular, I'm just excited I drove an hour and a half both ways without incident.

This morning we covered the silage pit (A rather large job that involves tossing a lot of tires around, a few pitch forks and three loads of bad silage.) and this afternoon was sorting steers and getting off early. I have to admit I'm glad Silaging is over and done with, although driving a tractor and trailer is not as scary as I thought it would be.

Also mom gave me a book of sayings called Never Ask a Man the Size of His Spread: A Cowgirl's Guide to Life

The saying of the week is;

Even if it takes more than one throw to land a steer and tie him, he's still roped and tied. 

 And just for those of you who need either a laugh or some decent relationship advice;

Before you get serious with a cowboy, be sure he values you more than his truck.
