We are so Blessed!!!

You guys would be so proud of me I did not stay up worrying Sunday night about us selling calves. We did have a yearly note due and I gave it to God. Wow I don't think I have ever completely gave it all to him to worry with. Jon was so shocked I did not toss and turn or even get up Sunday night. Cattle prices took a huge fall yesterday as everything else and Jon had to sit from 12:30 to 6:00 till our calves sold. He left the sale barn at 6:30 and did not get home till 8:30 last night. It was one of the biggest sales they had this year. I guess everyone is needing Christmas money and who wants to feed a bunch of 500 lb calves all winter with the prices of feed so high. We only had 6 to sale this time which is not a lot I know but we sold all the others back in July and cattle were a little off then but we did make our payments then that is all we can ask. These 6 just did not make weight so we fed them out a little longer we do not sale anything on our place unless it weighs 500-600lbs or over you just don't make that much. We did have one heifer that weighed 400 and we took a loss there. The kids and I babied her and everything she just would not gain weight. Oh well you have that sometimes. Anyway we was not able to make the full payment with the cattle check but we was able to pay well over half of it at least. Then Jon got a call while he was waiting at the sale barn and a neighbor bought his little red s10 which has over 200,000 miles on it and has been sitting for 3 years it has little things wrong. But we are using that money to pay also. All I can say is God is so good!!
