Weight Watchers

This morning we check weighed the steers and put in the Angus Source tags. The sale is on Monday. Big day out of the year. A huge amount of income based on how well our steers look and how the cattle market is doing. This year was different because we didn't grain the steers this winter. Of course the check weigh didn't prove that much really because it was the steers first day off of grass and they didn't have breakfast. Image going from a steak dinner with all the fixings to dried out gas station hot dogs. Your first day wouldn't be the heaviest weight either. As we were weighing the steers I was thinking about how to get them to gain a little weight. I had to laugh. For months I've been trying to drop the pounds and I knew all sorts of ways to lose weight, but what all would make the steers gain weight. :) Really in the grand scheme of things- they don't have that much to gain. Still-I was thinking.

This afternoon some relatives from California came by. They are fun, but it is a different thing. I hurriedly cooked a strawberry rhubarb cobbler and tried to prepare myself for company. The fact is I really am shy, so I didn't even really mention much about my website or this blog, and only showed some old contact prints as far as my photography was concerned. If I were smart about this whole marketing thing I would be speaking up at every opportunity. I'm not. How do I go about it without seeming self-centered or self-absorbed? It's something I consistently struggle with, and hence, I'm not getting the exposure I need.
