    Working on the grain table. This is a 30 foot grain head that we use to combine wheat and soybeans. Wheat will be ready soon after we are finished planting so its important to make sure that everthing is ready to go to minimize the amount of down time when the conditions are fit.

    Working on the grain head so its ready for wheat harvest in a couple months!

    Ultrasounding cows. This is an ultrasound machine that the vet uses for several reasons. Some of the most common uses are checking the health and sex of calves and checking a cows ovaries to diagnose breeding problems.

    We ultrasounded a few cows this week, here is the ultrasound machine the vet uses.
