(Above: Hills created by ‘salamanders’, otherwise known as the southeastern pocket gopher. Why they are called salamanders, I have no idea. They look like large moles.)
Summary: Today began with calisthenics, piano practice, and a portion of the weekly Jacobhouse cleaning. This was followed by a beef pasture inspection with Padre and then another 25 minutes of house-neatening. The next two hours were spent writing, after which I reviewed some PoA text and began inspecting and working on next week’s activities. Lunch occurred at 1:20 PM and consisted of baked potatoes, spring mix salad, and plenty of watermelon.
A company logo I devised for Master Blend Cattle Company in hopes of being able to also use it for credit in my PoA class. Probably not final. The green border is supposed to represent Free-Range & Free-Choice cattle, the Blue represents Belgian/British Blue, the Black is for our Angus, and the Brown signifies Wagyu. The C C means cattle company (formed like hooves), and the overall ratio of Blue to Black to Wagyu is somewhat indicative of the 25:25:50 genomic split of Wagyner Blue cattle. 
Thriving Jewels of Opar. Those leaves are quite edible, and there are many of them.
(5:44 PM Update:) Afternoon activities began with watching some more PoA lecture and a brief bout of rest. I next ventured outdoors where I helped with a few cattle-related activities, including: a beef pasture inspection, capturing a couple cows for breeding and embryo transfer, preparing an IV (and IV’ing) a premature calf weighing no more than 30 lbs, and finicking with a defective IV kit.* I next stopped by Madre’s current office where we ordered airplane tickets for Orlando-to-Seattle in late November. The visit is being made with the primary intention of visiting my brother.
Final Note: Now that I have aided in performing the day’s final beef pasture inspection, I plan to conclude this entry and grill a large Master Blend chuck steak for dinner. It shall go excellently with a plenitude of arugula and spring-mix.
*It was not allowing the passage of air—the mechanic that allows water to flow from the bottle without causing a vacuum
I very much liked the me MB logo, each aspects significance appreciated
