Good Bye To Hopper

It has been a busy week with weather, power outages, cattle stranded, mud slides thwarting firewood deliveries, high water, etc. The weather has calmed considerably, the river is slowly receding and the cattle should be able to return to their own side of the river in the next day or two.

In the midst of all the hub bub, a farmer had contacted us about a bull purchase. He showed up just as the rain and wind ended, when we finally had the power back on, but the roads were still all covered with limbs and debris. Luckily he had his farm boots for they were needed to walk out into the bull pen pastures. He picked out one of the yearling bulls to become the herd sire for his cows located in Sweet Home and asked Mike to deliver the bull the next day.

I had missed the opportunity to get a few pictures of the bull when we had him in the loading pen, but got the chance just before he left the driveway in the stock trailer. Good bye SAF Hopper, I’m sure you are going to be very happy in the celebrated Century Farm (a designation to family heritage farms over 100 years old) in the lower Willamette Valley.
