On the Opening Weekend of Deer Camp…

Hey! It’s Wally here! As I hear gunshots in the woods far away, Marie and I do chores and wish all the hunters a happy, bountiful and safe hunt this season. The humans keep joking that many Wisconsinites consider this weekend a Holiday. Many families grow traditions around things like that. Jeff and Marie may not hunt today, but Jeff used to in his younger years. Brady, their son, did quite a bit of youth hunting. Nowadays, Kayla, their daughter, and her husband, Nick, enjoy the tradition. They even shared their view from the stand with us! They’ve enjoyed a few sightings and their time in nature so far!

The last couple of weeks have been memorable! We had a Harvest Celebration with some neighbors the last Saturday of the month, Kayla and Marie went to Taste of the North in Chippewa Falls on November 8th, and a Benefit for Loren Solberg was held last Saturday.

Jeff also finished combining corn this past Thursday. This year was a very challenging growing year with a late spring followed by almost no rain in July and August. Ultimately, the lack of rain led to lower than expected yields this fall. The picture is of him combining soybeans a few weeks ago.

A couple bits of news!

We have three Boar Goats, all bucks, for sale! $140 each or $375 for all three.

Additionally, do you know someone who might be looking for a Miniature Hereford Steer to show next summer? Meet Herb! He’s broke to lead, went to Kids and Cows in October with the herd, and is ready to go! $1000

Sandy Acres Meats is offering a “Black Friday Special” through the end of November!!! Open by appointment nearly anytime, call Marie 715-579-2917

Have a wonderful week! I’ll be back to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving on Thursday!

With Love, Wally the Trusted Border Collie
