OFI 1338: My Plans And Budget Were Busted By The Bull

So, I haven't had one set of plans work out like I wanted in the recent past, and that is just the way it is going for me on my farm. First, I was supposed to start calving on February 25th, but we didn't have our first calf until 3/5/22. Our cows are all showing that they are ready to calve, but they are coming along very slow and to date I only have four calves. Next, I filled out the perfect bracket for the NCAA Basketball Tournament and put together a fun group of people to participate in the bracket. After just one weekend, I am in last place with no prospect of turning things around. And, my daughter is in second and absolutely destroying me. Currently I am on a solo, staycation, during Autumm and Hattie's Spring Break. The three of us have taken a trip together every Spring Break for years now, but this slow calving kept me at home. So, they took off to go look at some colleges and see the ocean over on the Oregon Coast. That was okay though. I have a lot things to get done, and I figured that this would give me the perfect opportunity. I figured I would get started with it today. Simultaneously our pasture is just starting to green up, so I wanted to get our yearlings off of it and back in with our cows. And, since our cows have started calving it was time to get the bull separated off. So, I put the bull in the pen I had used for him earlier this year and moved the yearlings over. However, with the yearlings cycling he promptly broke a rail in that pen and was in with them for an unknown amount of time. So, I caught him and put him in a different pen, which he promptly broke out of last night, but luckily could not find his way back to the girls. So, this morning, instead of starting my projects I wound up changing the configuration of that pen that I had built and adding lumber to it, to reinforce it. I had to go purchase lumber, and that broke the budget because it costs around $1 million for a sixteen foot 2X6 these days. And that is the life that I love!
