Richfield, UT

Traveled to Richfield to see Nathan and Jenney's new home. Dennis doing the driving.
Nathan is now is a district director for UDOT . His area covers all of southern Utah or over 50% of the state of utah. With over 400 employees, he is very busy.
Richfield is a 4wheeler heaven with trails leading out of town in every direction.
With my herd down to 16 calves we can start to travel, after we work over the orchard, which Paul has agreed to take back. We will prune what is left of the fruit trees and plant oats in the cleared area. We are also fencing more land next to Walmart. These jobs were to keep Brad busy but he got a new Engineering job, so Paul and John have plenty to do.

Cutting Back

Sold most of my stock cows yesterday and hauled them out in three loads. Just have 21 head of calves and cull cows left plus the three bulls in Mantua.. Paul thought I was running out of work so he took over the old orchard for this year. The owner is taking out the dead trees so we will try to plant oats to clean up the place.

We will have lots of pasture so I'm taking 20 head of horses for the Cache Valley pasture and a lot more in Perry. They are a lot easier to handle than cows and the pay is better.
