A Day at the Alvarez Ranch

We went to my friend Oscar's ranch today where he raises Beefmaster cows. It was pretty interesting - my other friend Brent raises cattle and so there's a lot I've heard about: artificial insemination, embryo transfer, embryo wash, etc. It seems like it a question of time and trial to get the right "recipe". He was pleased to say that 3 of his cows had sold for a total of $10k at the Three Rivers auction recently, so that was a coup.

We had a nice lunch. We were there with Sarah and his son Oscar/ "Andy" who is also Sarah's new beau. So they enjoyed spending the day together as well. After a tour of the ranch by Polaris, we enjoyed sitting on the patio. Very mild day. Later some other friends dropped by so it was an enjoyable afternoon.
