I'll start off with the need. They've had to move the cattle off of the Knolls because the generator went down so no water is being pumped and they have moved some yearlings onto Cecil's property. They then discovered that the fence was down in 3 places. Two they have fixed but the last one is about 1/4 mile long. Dad called this morning wondering if we could get 2-3 hands up as soon as possible to fix it. I am committed the next 3 Saturdays on other activities but I could go on Thursday April 17th or Tuesday April 22. Please respond back if you would be available either of those days, and if not, whether there is a Saturday this month you could go and if there are a few of you that could then we'd set it up for you to go.
As I said, the generator quit working at the big mill. They've had a repairman out and he thinks it's the regulator and they have one on order. Dad, Chris & George Wallace rode last Tuesday and found everything but about 25 head. Dad, Chris, Ryan & Ginny are riding today to try to gather the remainder. Most of them have been moved on to Jennie's pasture with a few yearlings to Cecils.
It has been a real blessing to my dad to have Chris up there since just after Easter. They have been out working every day on Fence, corrals and cattle. A lot has been getting done that wasn't able to for many years. It's wearing my dad out- Chris says dad is too tired to drive home at the end of the day- he has Chris do it. We have an upcoming work weekend on May 3rd. Some of you committed to help that weekend so keep it open.
