Sold 6 more heifer calves @ 1 d0llar per pound which is good for 600 p0unders. We are now through selling for this year and have just 6 heifers left to put with the bull. Also have 6 heifers that I am pasturing for Fred. The pastures are all rented out for horses or cattle so will have more time to work on the orchard. The oates have sprouted on the 10 acres and the orchard is beautiful with the cherries and peaches in full bloom. We may be able to save about half of the trees which have been neglected for years.
I attended the funeral today for DeLoris Hill from Wellsville and Brigham city. She is a distant realative and did a lot of geneology work on the Baxter line. My brother Lamar also attended since she was his date on the South Cache High school Jr prom. We sold our Hirschi orchard to DeLoris years ago and she built a beautiful subdivision on the lower 5 acres. DeLoris became wealthy while working as a waitress at Maddox for 35 years. She was just 80 years old .
Lance made it in the Boston marathon and we all congratulated him for a great achievment. It makes my legs hurt just to think about running 26 miles.
