This week at the Stiles Farm is my last week. I am so very thankful that I had gotten the opportunity to work here for the summer. I have learned many helpful skills, such as driving the stick shift or driving the tractor, that I will likely use in my future in agriculture.
We continued to spray mesquites, as we have a time frame for being able to complete this task before the mesquites starting dying because of a lack of water and heat. AnMarie and I worked on the back forty acres that are included in the wildlife area. Then throughout the rest of the week I worked on Herzer and Sanchez while she continued in the back forty.
We also have two new calves this week, one at headquarters and one in the northwestern pasture!

This is one of our older calves at headquarters. I had picked her up to move her out of the sun and into the shade, as we were worried that she was getting too hot.
