Wow! I haven't been on here in a while. I have started my 2nd year of teaching at Newport Junior High School. I am classified as a Literacy teacher, but I also teach one class each of 7th and 8th grade Social Studies, Drama and Creative Writing. I miss teaching Pre-A/P English, but I feel like I am learning more about teaching this year. I am already looking forward to whatever next year brings.
I have built my cattle herd up a little bit. I have 6 mature cows, 1 bred heifer and 1 heifer getting close to being breeding age. I also have 5 calves that will be ready to wean soon. I bought my first registered bull this fall. He is a weanling Black Angus bull, and I am looking forward to seeing how he crosses with my cows.
I still have several horses. I have 2 broodmares, 2 weanling fillies, 1 gelding, 1 riding mare, and a gaited filly. I traded for the gaited filly, or I definitely wouldn't own her. I was lucky to find a girl in the area that is riding horses. I actually rodeoed with her when she was just a little girl. She is doing a great job. She is training my riding mare, and I hope that I will be able to start riding her soon. She is doing a good job with her, and I am very proud.
Until next time, See ya!
