Now that's low maintenance

At the Board of Director's meeting this morning over breakfast, Chris and I inquired as to how we could help out with the flurry of spring activity.

Uncle Peter:  If you think we don't do anything in the winter, wait 'till you see us in the summer!
Me: What, now that the cows are in the fields, it's just busy around planting time and then harvest time?
UP: What planting?
Me: Don't you seed for the feed?
UP:  No!  We just let the fields grow...it's the just grasses that are already there...

Wow.  Who knew?  Yes, I really am that clueless as to what goes on out here...

Makes sense.  The cows are eating grass all summer long...just keep some aside to cut and bale for the winter.

I'm kind of digging this whole ranching business.

So, Chris and Peter went off to survey the state of the fences and Dad fed the bulls that are still in the corral/pen.   Must keep them in check until it's 'go time'. :)
