Disappointment
Today we pregnancy checked the coming 2-year old heifers as part of getting the cattle ready for the winter. Out of 111 head we checked, 16 of them were dry (without calves in them). This works out to about 15% drys. This is an absolutely horrible number of drys to have. We have been as poor as 10% before but usually the numbers are even better than that. There are many things I could blame, rightly or wrongly, for these results but instead of laying blame I will try to figure out how I can improve them. I will just give thanks that it was no worse than it was.
Disappointment is a sort of bankruptcy—the bankruptcy of a soul that expends too much in hope and expectation. Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
