Hello everyone. Hope your summer is going well. For me Summer is working and getting a lot of things done I normally don’t have time for when I’m in school. I have been very busy working on cleaning up around the barns and spraying brush when I’m not caring and working with my heifers. I also celebrated my 16th Birthday on June 15th. Now that I’m sixteen I will be getting my DL soon and then the real work will start.

On June 3rd I put 22 eggs in my incubator for a customer that wanted to purchase them. I put 11 red productions and 11 bantams in the incubator. It takes 21 days to hatch chicken eggs. The chicks hatched on June 23rd and the buyer came and got them on the 25th. I now have 21 more eggs in the incubator which are mostly bantams this go around.

Registered heifer validation was on June 21st in Sinton. I scheduled Lexi to get her bangs vaccination on the same day at Sinton Vet Clinic. Me and my grandfather took Lexi to the vet for her vaccination and to the fairgrounds for validation.

Also on June 23rdI assisted our female schnauzer Daisy as she gave birth to 6 healthy puppies. She had 4 girls and 2 boys. I can’t wait to see them grow. On the 27th we took the puppies and both parents to the vet to have the tails docked and declaws removed on the puppies. Daisy was not happy when the vet took her puppies to the back. She couldn’t wait to home so she could get back with her puppies.

On the 28th I had a 4-H Awards Interview at the County Extension Office. To answer many questions about involvement in 4-H, leadership, and community service projects. After my interview, I received my 4-H record book which I received a red ribbon. I have completed a record book every year on Beef since the 3rd grade. I also received my ribbons for the 10 photos I entered in the 2022 State Photography Contest. I received 3 Blue, 6 Red, and 1 White ribbons.



This month I bought six sacks of feed from my breeder Justin that I feed Lexi. I also bought some cotton seed and range cubes from Tractor Supply. This month I had to buy 20 sacks of creep feed and 10 sacks of chicken feed. The creep feed is fed to my older heifers that are penned with Lexi. Below is a picture of part of my feed room.
