Good Morning nostr people. It's little Friday. I've got a full schedule ready to knock out this week. #grownostr #IT #endoftheweek

Some days you just feel like an idiot. I put the cows in a new paddock on rented land. I plugged in the fence charger but I missed a step I forgot to hook up the hot side of the fence. #TheBeefInitiative #FarmRaisedBeef #SupportLocalFarms #RegenerativeAgriculture #FarmingFeedsAlabama #grownostr

The difference between where the cows have been and where they are going. It was really wet today moving the cows but they didn't seem to mind. #TheBeefInitiative #FarmRaisedBeef #PastureRaised #FamilyFarm #KnowYourFarmer #SupportLocalFarms #RegenerativeAgriculture #FarmingFeedsAlabama #grownostr

The cows got moved to fresh grass today. Look at the size of the clover in this field this field is covered with clover. #GrassFedBeef #beef #cattle #grassfinishedbeef #farmingfeedsalabama

Cattle prices are the highest that they have been in my lifetime. Cattle farmers are making good money. They US Cattle herd is the smallest it has been in my lifetime. The cattle herd can not grown as fast as chicken or hogs so high beef prices may be around for some time. #beef #thankafarmer #nofarmnofood #grownostr #cattlefarm

This week has been a hard one for southern farmers. The Arctic blast pushed through the deep south and it froze many places that haven't froze in a long time. When you eat tonight I want you to remember the farmer that grew the food that is on your plate. #THANKAFARMER #NOFARMERNOFOOD #ARTICBLAST

Friday, Friday, Friday, The end of the week, beginning of the weekend. I am going to take my 6 year old fishing tomorrow let's hope I don't get hooked.

Short week how much can you get done in a short week. #gsd #grownostr

I was able to get 3 bull calves up on Saturday then they got out on Sunday morning and I was able to catch them again on Sunday Afternoon. Now I just got to get them on the trailer this afternoon. #beef #grownostr #Cattlefarming #farming #farmlife

Wow it’s been a quick week. Already Thursday I've been dealing with sick kids and my list keeps growing. The track jumped off the skid steer. I still have to finish getting the pool setup. And the regular stuff work cows, check fences and mow yards.

Friday! Friday! Friday! Wow it feels like this week has been a month long. I have been neck deep in firewall programming this week. This weekend we have a T-ball tournament. I hope to get the liner in our pool and if I am lucky get some bull calves in the catch pen. #GROWNOSTR #ITlife #Farmlife #Parentlife

Working in IT I have seen some strange things. Yesterday was one of those. I had a site that had 2 internet connections with failover the failover has been tested and is working. I get a call that the internet was down at the location. I went onsite and both wan ports were dead on the firewall as well as the DMZ switch. It looks like lightning hit the coax connection killed the coax modem , DMZ switch and both WAN ports on the Firewall. Luckily I was able to put a backup firewall in place and get them up on a fiber connection but that was a strange one. #GROWNOSTR #IT

GM I'm building out new PBX's today it's amazing what I can do with these VOIP systems and how much has changed in the last 10 years. #grownostr #VOIP #IT #DudenamedBen

Here we are halfway through the work week. Coming to the end of another Month and the end of the first quarter of the year. TICK TOCK. I lost a new born calf yesterday during the big rain storm. The mama fell down and couldn't get back up. That's the trouble with having animals sometimes you lose one. #grownostr #farming #ticktock #Q1 #BEEF

I really dislike doing mechanic work. I am now having to replace my turbo and DPF in my 2009 Jetta TDI. #grownostr #highemissionVW #VW #TDI
