Poured down the rain today. After the rain my wife and I went out to mess around a bit with the steers. We took some sweetfeed in a large coffee can. My wife said "hey boys" and they lifted their heads off the ground. They still had grass hanging out of their mouths.

Then my wife rattled the coffee can and said "come here boys" and they did 😲

I hung the green gate bucket over the fence, stepped back and my wife poured in the sweet feed. They came up to the bucket to eat the sweet feed. These steers even have black tongues 😋

Major step today, for sure... Wife has almost got them up to the barn. Maybe tomorrow, maybe... I need to get them up to the barn so I can start feeding them grower.

We have a old "chow bell" it's pretty good sized. I might get a pipe for it, plant it in the ground and try to train them to come for the bell. They would be able to hear it from the back of the property after I get the next 5 acres fenced in. IDK... what's your thoughts on the bell? Just trying to think of something else, since they walk away from the sound of my voice.

Jesus is Lord and Christ 🙏❤️🇺🇸

and I am sure you know there has always been a greater revival during times of trial, tribulation and persecution,
the Lord uses every situation,

"every knee will bow"

Philippians 2:10-11​


Revival \o/ You don't know it, but you just brought a HUGE smile to my face.

Jesus is Lord and Christ 🙏❤️🇺🇸

The bell worked for my kids. Dinner starts 10 minutes after we ring the bell. Took only one missed meal to get the kids to understand the concept. 😀
