Good-bye July....

Wow....the last day of July....finally....
Although i don't think August is gonna be any better...considering the weatherman said it's only going to be hotter and still sadly after the rain-dancing we did...no rain....

Got the electric bill saturday in the mail and it was $350...that's not too bad i guess..some people had bills $400 or more...so i can't whine...keeping things turned off and blocking the sun from the windows has helped tremendously! we are smart..lol..i hope.

We had to take a few steers to the sale yesterday and a young bull.....There were guys everywhere selling off their whole herd...i'm really concerned that if it don't rain we may have to also...especially after seeing the weatherman on the news saying all that last night....i wonder just how long those ponds & streams are gonna hold up if the whole month of August is going to be much more hotter/drier.....Nothing to lose sleep over i suppose...*crossing my fingers*

as Grandpa says:"Cattle business is always a gamble...you gotta learn to play the game."......and that takes years of experience i know....i'm still young and green..i'm sitting back and absorbing all the knowledge and experiences i see going on.....it's an interesting game and it takes skill & smarts, to play it right...Maybe one day i will become the cattle baroness i wanna be...haha!

talked to Morgan last night on the phone from Kansas..things aren't any better there..so Oklahoma is not alone....At this point, as hot as it is,(112 degrees everyday)...i told Morgan that we all might as well move to Alaska and herd snow-balls instead of cows....lol.....cooler.

good riddance July! you hot,miserable piece of crap!

love,julie
