I live on a ranch in Western South Dakota. We raise cattle and sheep. Our cattle are Red Angus and our sheep are Ramboullet (big horns).We plant some small grains, oats, sorghum and millet mostley for livestock feed. We also put up alfalfa and grass hay in the summer. We are joined by our son and his family three children. My wife Tammy is involved in many projects both locally and nationally.

Late Fall
A truck load of cake arrived last Tuesday. Cake is a grain pressed into a cube with minerals and vitamins added for the sheep. We have been feeding the sheep about 2 pounds per day of hay along with a half pound of the cake. The cows are still gazing out on the pastures. We have lic barrels out for a protein supplement for them. Next week we will move some cows to their winter pasture and some fresh grazing. They are ready to go. The first snow fell this morning. makes one think of winter coming. It is cold about10 degrees.
