There are many happy days at Aurora Farm. But there are sad days, too -- like when we weaned Li'l Red, Joshua, and Vicky from their Mommas last June and then took them to the sale barn last September.
Today, was another one of those days -- Abraham and I said goodbye to our ten heifers. The girls are going to 4-C Farms in Crockett, TX, about three hours south of Quitman. They will be well cared for there.

Here are several photos from today. (Click to enlarge)
