Laurie's new wheels

After waiting a year to have a vehicle, Laurie finally has a diesel to enjoy everyday!  Great on gas and plenty of room. 

Big Ass Fans

The girls of Kylecrest are enjoying the sunlight and air circulation that is created because of the "Big Ass" fans.  All the girls are lined up to eat their total-mixed ration (TMR) dinner which includes, haylage, corn, cottonseed and minerals.  Just like people it is important to incorporate all of the key nutrients.  People can't live on one food group alone and cows are the same.  The highest quality milk is from the cows that eat a total-mixed ration. 

Target shooting

Hayden enjoyed a great weekend target shooting at the range!  He did great for a first-timer!
