Business hours subject to change during Hay Season

The days have flown by and July is almost here. After a big push to get in first cutting hay, we were able to tally up 1300 small square bales and 86 big round bales. Now we have 2 or 3 (hopefully) more cuttings and hay season will be over. I know that in my part of the country I am lucky to have a break in the weather, where I am able to get the time to put up the hay. It just makes me sooo tired, to have suck crazy busy days. My typical day includes going to my job, cooking dinner, garden, checking cows, and housework. Add in 8+ hours of tedding, hauling, or baling hay and it makes for some loooong days.
Between all the work I did find time to get interview with Beef Magazine, concerning my views as a cattlewomen. Beef Magazine is a vital periodical in the cattle industry and feel honored to be able to contribute to it.
Right now, I am in the middle of 1st cutting and 2nd cutting, which means it is book time. I just received my copy of Between Wyomings: My God and an ipod on the open road, and cant wait to crack it open. I plan to have my review done my Sunday and have very high expectations for this book. Time is short and I have a book to read.
