Lucy had a fencing match today and all Brent got was this t-shirt.  “Adishatz” means “hello” and “good-bye” in Gascon.  I felt the need to give a snort-snort-out to all those computer nerds reading this.

Someone turned the sun on.  It didn’t ease in.  I’m still wearing double wool and fleece out of habit.  My red cheeks let me know that I’ve gone too far.

There is a lot of grass right now, but to slow the herd down a bit, Brent fed a bale on a lesser grassy paddock.  This gives the paddocks time to grow.

The calves are still coming in.  Brent tags and castrates them on day one.  But what great fun to get out there and move the herd in this weather.  Southwest France is giddy.
