77Herford Farm Zoo Journal Moving

[marlowmanor]

Thank you for having the courage to apologize. .

I read the journals of everyone on BYH because I like to see peoples lives, personalities and all that comes through the journals. My life is fairly boring, but I have big dreams. If I ever get part of my dreams I'll be one happy woman! Your life is much more exciting than my own, so I read your journal and enjoy living a little vicariously through you! I bet there are plenty of exciting things that happen on your farm, enough that you don't have to make up things to entertain us! The journals aren't about making up stories to entertain an audience, they are about telling about the real life of a farmer, the good, the bad, and the ugly! I can't help but think of the old John Wayne movie when I typed that!

Trust me your life is much more interesting than mine I am sure! I can't update my journal much because there is very little that happens around here animal wise. Most of the excitement happens with my human kids! I really doubt everyone wants to hear all the adventures my boys get into on a regular basis, or how much they drive me nuts!

Just tell us about your daily life. You are living the dream of some people with all the land and the animals that you are able to have. Maybe we need a picture of you and your wife! JK

Very impressed that you would apologize. That says a lot about who you are! I can't wait to read more of your journal. How is Roley? Do you have any pictures of him? Would love to see him. Thanks for being willing to apologize.

I've never read your journal but I think I just might....it takes a very brave person to apologize when you've done something wrong. I don't know the details of why you are apologizing but I take off my hat to anyone who can realize that they need to say they are sorry and actually goes ahead and DOES that~it's very rare in the world. It's an admirable quality and one that I respect greatly as it is sometimes the hardest thing to ever do.

Sorry, never mind about my question. Again, thank you for your honesty. I look forward to reading about what all goes on in your day!

Just be yourself. Kindergarten advice.

You're more likable now than you were before. Now we know you are just like everyone else.

I will admit that I am a little jealous about your dairty cattle, lol.

I LOVE raw milk, and we cant purchase it here in NC.

Hubby's grandparents had a small jersey dairy before they died, and I got spoiled to that milk. We live in their house now, and use their barn, but the milking parlor is unused. I just dont have time for a milk cow.

How many are you milking and are they Jerseys? (I am partial to Jerseys, can you tell?) I LOVE LOVE LOVE the butter and ice cream made from Jersey cream.

We have six Jersey's with two milking. Yes, the two female calves are named Red and Mulan. Red or Litte Red was given this name because she had the fire spirit of someone we all know as Redtailgal. Mulan though more subdue compared to her half sister is still a little spunky.
We get alot of milk from just two, but thanks to a wonderful local bakery, we will be able to sell all our extra when the other three Jersey cows give birth this spring. I will pastuerize the milk for the bakery as per law but its still tasty. They buy the cream as well I'm guessing for Merang toppings. I know I spelled Merang wrong, lol.

Wife isn't enjoying sitting around and is cleaning the house obsessively.....

Rolley should come home by the end of the week. He will be staying in the porch with Chief, Raven and Lady. Don't worry the porch is enclosed.

I'm considering sawing the Spanish bucks rack in half and round the points off. He got one of the balls off and I guess took out his frustration on the fence line and of course got stuck...idiot. My wife won't go near him so I freed him with no thankyou from him. I would be interested in any names for the Spanish buck. If his attitude continues I might just keep that Saanen as a buck.

I put on the band on the French Alpine buckling a few days ago. He is pretty with his black and white splashes but as he has grown I've noticed his front legs turn in slightly which isn't something I would want to breed. His sister has bigger splashes of white and still nice looking.

Tennis balls and liquid nails. You will have to replace them every now and then but it works.

Glad to hear Rolly is comming home

So happy to hear that. Hope that all goes well.

Having some serious toothache. Being on blood thinners makes you really miss Advil when real pain comes. Tylenol just doesn't seem to cut it against a tooth ache than good old Advil. I'm pretty sure the tooth will need to be pulled, which means I might have to wait another FIVE days of this not cool pain, because I would need to go off my meds to thicken my blood so when they do pull it, it won't bleed forever. I have a fairly high pain tolerance but this pain is making me sick to my stomach. I've taken the make pills for the day.
