[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1847395, member: 40587"] Gonna be a long day tomorrow. It will be like Grand Central Station at the Kudzu place. But at the end, we gonna be ( Scott and Me) set up for it to be a whole lot easier on us 2 old men. Pedro is coming in the morning to pay me for, and load up, those 22 Plummers and their calves. And he is picking his Mexican Fighting bull up, too! I have two 1/2 MB cows and a 3/4 MFB heifer in the dove field with him, but he has only been in there 3 weeks or so. Don't matter if they are not bred, because I am putting my Brangus bull and two more 14-15 mos old Corr heifers in the dove field with those 3. Scott's brother is bringing us 2 bulls tomorrow, a black Simm and a Simm/ChiAngus/Brangus composite he has been developing, and I don't wont those 2 heifers to get bred by one of them, if they aren't already bred to my Brangus. I will put him and those 5 Corrs back in the Kudzu field when those 2 bulls leave end of May. Gonna move Gail and her calves over there tomorrow too, now that Gail is bred. And at the end of the day, gonna leave Scott's horses there. He is gonna spray for weeds in Gail's pasture and the horse pastures next week, and fertilize it according to the tests, then let them grow a little before we put things back on them.
