Here are some pics of our little herd and horses.

Here is some of the last calves born
The smallest is from the first set of calves born.
We where very excited about this little fella.



Here is most of our cattle we have 21 cows + our bull.
We started off with 12 and lost 4 to bloat very sad :(
We sold 3 steers back HERE
And are awaiting the rest of our calves from our first lot of calves born very exciting.
Funny thing was i didn't want cattle to begin with but its been something that rob has wanted to do for a long time so i went along with it and i tell you what I'm glad i did.

Below are rob pride and joy.
Although he doesn't do much with them these day
but back in the day.
He used to steer wrestling with 2 of these horses
Not the little brown and white one though that's the boys horse lol.

CALAMARI RINGS

From this 
 To this 
I brought some squid from the supermarket frozen and it was 5 dollars a bag.
Bayley just Love's calamari rings so i figured i would make my own and i get triple the amount in making my own then buy the pre made ones.

I made my own crumb an added some herbs and spice.
I used a pair of scissors to cut the squid into rings then
dip them in flour 
and in an egg wash
then in my crumb
 I fried them in a shallow pan of oil just so they were covered on a high heat for about 2 min
They were so yum even Jordan ate them we just called them fish rings as that's all Jordan eats is fish lol
