Here in central IL we have a very white christmas. About 6 inches of nice new white snow. Still, its another day on the farm and things go on just like any other day.
Before going to christmas eve dinner with the family, chores need to be done. Checking on the cows while the snow falls.
A couple of young cows check me out while I check on the tank heater in their water tank.
After checking on the cows I head back home down the road. Snow on christmas eve is nice.
Back home, the calves raced outside as soon as I started the tractor. They know exactly what that noise is.
24 noses in the bunk and eating, perfect.
After a little shoveling of snow this morning feeding was under way.
Doing chores alone today and with the snow I was a little late getting to the cows. But they were happy to see me!
Enjoying a mix of hay, corn stalks, corn gluten and corn silage. It has a nice smell to it actually.
This group of heifers will grab a mouthfull out of every pile and follow me to the last pile and stay there and eat. I have no idea why.
As I finished up chores at the Higgs farm the sun was trying to poke out.
I guess I wasnt alone doing chores really. Wrigley was doing his job talking to the cows while I took pics. He is wore out and napping somewhere, a quick look around and I dont see him downstairs so that means he is sleeping on the foot of my bed. Not much traffic out and about while I did chores this morning. Mostly snow plows and I saw a couple of guys goose hunting. Much like wrigley I am planning on a lazy christmas afternoon. From here on the farm, merry christmas everybody !! bill

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
