Long Long Week

It's 06:00 pm on Thursday and I'm still in the office. It's been this since last Friday and it's getting old, very old. Hopefully one or two more days of this will be enough to catch up on all the work.

Next week will include a visit to the Doctor for a checkup, one district meeting for the southwest area of Dairy Producers of New Mexico, and a DPNM Board of Directors meeting in Ruidoso, NM. Thanks goodness they are all on different days so I sort of relax.

Just answered a quick question about pounds of milk shipped daily and pounds of feed fed to the cows. Milk shipped 172,000 +/- pounds per day and 169,000 +/- pounds of feed fed. Trouble is that I'm paid .093 cents per pound for milk, but feed costs .105 cents per pound. Looking at what I just wrote, and I can't think of what else to say about the situation of milk price vs feed costs.

Quick weather update, 60 degrees and windy, makes for a cool afternoon for southern New Mexico.
