Sold!

We’re all a little less nervous since the calves are sold. Still here, but sold. It’s a relief. Not a huge relief since the Head Honcho wanted more than he got for them. But in my time with him, that’s been the case every year, even when he got what he asked for them!

We watch them closer than the chicken hawks watch the pheasants, trying to keep them healthy and gaining steadily until they ship. Then the Head Honcho will be holding back crocodile tears – he hates to see any of his babies go down the road.
