YAY SNOW! Calling for 3-5 inches here. Means work in the morning (DH plows for a couple people). I am just bummed cuz DH is down in OH for work and they won'te be headed back till this evening... I am one of those worry-wort wives who is gonna be nervous as all get-out if he don't get home before the roads start gettin slick. Eh well... he will have a nice goat roast waitin for him when he gets here anyways

Really stinks about the abcess tho... that has to take a lot of the fun out of everything.

greybeard, I have a feeling that when we get a "like" button for the posts, you are gonna be a popular guy.

And btw,

I think I like this 77 better than the other one!

Well found two of Grey's baby bunnies dead today. Don't know why they died but no heart beat. The others seem to be milking just fine and Grey is getting plenty of water and alfalfa, plus pellets.

Mystery deaths are more annoying to me than a predator or something that is known. Drives me bananas when they just keel over.

 

[77Herford]

Yeah, I don't like mystery deaths. I still have three little Grey balls of fur. I wonder if bunnies can be homozygous in color. I imagine they can but I imagine someone will answer this for me. The baby bunnies all all turning Grey in fur color, which is great in MHO. Maybe their color will change as they grow.

The two Simmental calves are coming along good with the warm weather we had for so long. This is the first real cold blast we've had this winter. Until I saw posts on here I didn't know that Simmentals came in that yellow creamy color. I had just never seen the cream color around here or in childhood.

The large Hen house is hovering around fifty degrees but the hens are still huddling together, whimps they have a heated house. My small individual flocks don't have heat, except insulation and body warmth.

when you bred them did you do a one day breeding or put her back in 10 days later to make sure?

3 hours of sleep, weeee. Gargled warm saltwater and rinsed with warmer water for temporary relief. Wish I had a robotic jaw sometimes and could just open it up and fix the problem.

Yes, I'm complaining.

Getting work done is harder when every movement you make hurts your face and conventional pain killers last half the time of less they say they will work. I wouldn't of survived in my Grandpa's days or his dads. I would of ripped out my tooth by now, lol.

Tooth pain or any pain in your mouth, in my opinion, is the worst.
