Flashback: Painting of Super & the cutter

In 1988 Ian & I were out in the cutter with "Super".

Weighing steers at CVF

Every 28-35 days we weigh our steers to calculate average daily gain.

This allows us to adjust their feed accordingly.

A good harness-maker

Abner has made great harness for us.

He even has a picture of Boomer on his sign & logo.

Thanks Toby for a great effort.
