Mike the Pro

After an unusual bunch of weather this year, today was darned close to perfect.  Warm, windy and sunny with humidities that were comfortable.  Joe came this morning and milked and then mowed the lawn and trimmed around the buildings.  The lawn is really brown but now its even so we look a bit better from the road : )  Bruce spent the day hauling manure from the barn and steer yard.  The steers got a couple corn fodder stacks to lounge on that the cows found entertaining when they were in the yard.  We had someone stop in today and buy one of the male goat kids from January.  Mike got to impress everyone by going around the corner and bringing the goats up, stopping instantly when asked to lie down and basically showed off his herding talents.  Those guys were in awe since they had never seen a dog herd like that before.  Bruce was darned proud!  Some people have kids in recitals....we have a border collie who really is one of the best dogs ever and as many times as we have seen him work, he still makes us smile : )
