Brad - I know this is a bit off topic; however, I would like to know 
where you came up with the name "Nathaniel".  That is the name of our 
older son who, like yours, is very resourseful when it comes to both 
numerical and spacial abilities.

    We actually have 2 sons and 2 daughters. In birth order they are: 
Aleia, Nathaniel, Julian, and Marika. Aleia is a registered nurse and 
lives close by. Nathaniel is married to Lori and have 2 little grandsons 
for us. Nathaniel is my outside genius, can run any piece of equipment 
he sees to pro skills within a half day seeing it along with stepping in 
to care for cows and do AI. He is always figuring out how to do every 
job we do in the quickest and efficient way there is. Julian is the cow 
man. Last spring he self taught himself to do our AI and bred most of 
the cows and heifers last year after spending the previous 18 months 
working in NZ and traveling around visiting the top jersey herds. This 
winter He took a course on embryo transfer and has successfully flushed 
several cows. Marika is a half year out of high school and is taking 
classes at the local college. She is Oregon Jersey Queen and ran for 
national last fall in Kentucky. She wants to run for Oregon state dairy 
princess this year. After this she is planning to go to U of Minn. and 
study dairy with emphasis on genetics. The farm we are on is a 3rd 
generation dairy and our family is the start of a new name for this 
farm. Our landlord and his wife are adopted family to us. To me the 
biggest success a farm can claim is an enthusiastic next generation to 
multiply the successes.
