Firstly, Beauregard was put down yesterday. And this was appropriate. Thank you for all your words of kindness and prayers. He was a sweet little bull. Bo, "Little Cow," we'll miss you.

Secondly, after a long family meeting, after carefully considering that our "garden" is currently a mud bog, after fully understanding exactly what 4-H expects, we have decided to get lambs next year. This is no disappointment. This is excitement in our future. Stay tuned for Project Lambs 2010!

As for Ry leading Raspberry? Well, Raspberry is already halter broken and leads easily. All the work is done. To enter her as a 4-H project would kind of be cheating. And hopefully Ras is going to be outstanding in a field, getting busy with some big strong handsome bull, this spring. So, no competition for us, this year.

Thirdly, Life is good. That is all. Carry on.
