What a brisk cold blustery Sunday this has been for us.  After waking up this morning and looking out the window to a fresh 6 inches of snow and extreme wind I began fixing my morning pot of coffee the power flickered and went out for about 6 hours.  That immediately changed the daily plans, back into emergency mode we go getting the kerosene heater fired up to keep the main rooms warm in the house, and keeping comfort here.  As could be expected the farm crew was on top of everything and makes my life a lot easier now, so a sigh of relief from them.  I was wanting to add another donor cow today from Iowa, but didn't have Internet service to do the appropriate bidding on her.  As i sat here reading literature knowing the sale was going to start at 2:00PM EST I gradually grew angry that I wasn't going to participate...so at approximately 1:30 PM the power came back on and all was good the computer was booting up and the plan was back on...until it flickered and out it goes for the third time today.  Now severe disappointment has set in and the anger was just pushed to the way side, as it was Gods will.  I went back to reading to calm the nerves and come to the realization it was just going to have to be this way.  Well at 1:58 PM all was lost and I knew the sale would start promptly in a couple minutes I closed the book to just ponder what this cow was going to bring.  All of the sudden the lights were back on and the heater blowing in the house but it was 2:02 PM dang it, the sale is surely already in full swing.  Like a madman I was grabbing the sale book and trying to hurry the laptop along in getting booted up.  As the internet icon went from black to blue I quickly logged into my account and low and behold they were still giving introductions for the sale.  Within a few moments Colonel Jon Schaben open the sale up with the lot one cow we were trying to get the bids kept coming and I kept hitting the bid button on the computer till she reached $25,000.00 at this point I figured it was in my best interest to stop and suffer the loss of a wonderful cow.  She went on to bring $37,000.00 as we looked on.  We will look to contact the new owners at a possibility of the opportunity of purchasing a flush option on her but will place that on the future to do list and carry on.  We have a great set of cows and prospects we have been building and are always looking to make our best even better if we can.  As I leave you today on the day of the lord please say an extra prayer for all the Power Company crews that go out regardless the circumstances/weather to keep us all comfortable...Thank You guys for all that you do!!! May God Bless each and every one of you!
