We are in Oklahoma at Star Lake Ranch in Skitook, which is about ten minutes from Owasso, which is another 15 minutes from Tulsa. How did we get here, well Hubby made the decision in July that if it was going to be the end of Star Lake, then we were going, plus Boy 1 had been here 3 times! We loaded up and were rolling by 6:30am n Thursday and got here at 2:30pm. Yes, that was with only one stop for fuel. I packed lunch for us and snacks, trying to make this as cheap as possible. As we got into Oklahoma there was this haze, since neither Hubby or I have spent very long here we thought it was smoke from some kind of wild fire, it was NOT, it was a dust storm, we looked at cattle anyway with howling winds and dust hitting us like little pellets, we looked at cattle. Boy 1 has drooled all over Shock and Awe, for those of you who don't know Herefords this is a bull that Boy 1 has loved and would love for him to be in our pasture, but we said NO! Matt, he even got his picture taken with him!! My grandparents did not leave as early so they got here about 5pm, yep here we are the 8 of us we range in age from 74 to 3! We are having a blast today, Boy 1 and Princess partnered up and bought a set of embryos, their very own. Guess who was the thinker behind that endeavor? The sale started today at 10:45 and finished at 6;40pm, there was no half time or seventh inning stretch, but I just keep thinking, this is Hereford History. It is like when my grandfather talks about when John Wayne had Hereford Cattle that it was one of the greatest, we just want to share great Herefords with our kids and right now this is it.
To take a line from one of our NJHA members, I know this is not word for word, what if there is not a tomorrow! Just goes with our life: Kids, Calves and Krazyness.
Good Night From Oklahoma:)
