Good for you taking the cow in. I'm sure you did a lot to help that family. Sometimes it is worth it to "over pay" and help someone out.

Well things weren't crazy today just a normal day. The Old Cow enjoyed her fresh grass as my mixed flock of Chickens pecked the ground around her. The Old Cow is rather gentle and I bet she would make a great mother. If she's doing good be the end of summer I may breed her.
The Herefords are really dropping calves fast now and I have two sets of twins, which is about normal. One is one of my original Herefords she is around ten years old and a great mother.
One of my Belties had a little black heifer.

Crazy early morning for me. I put the two calved Simmental mothers in with the rest of their herd as they are due. The Simmental's must of had a seance as six of the remaining eight went on that night to have their calves. I helped three of them and now I'm really tired.
I will let out Sugar and her filly after the sun rises. They will get the winter pen to run around in for a while. The rest of the horses are just on the other side of the fence in the new spring and summer months pasture.

Well let Sugar out with her filly. Its still slightly chilly and foggy but its suppose to be HOT today, with a high of 86 degrees F. Thats just wacky for April.

I soaked a bunch of mud in each Pig pen for wallowing.

Most of the cattle are hitting the grass early as they can probably tell that the heat wave is coming.

Saw something on MSN that made me want to share. Just a kid pranking his dad by drawing with marker on his dads face. Personally if I had ever done that to my father, my rear would be sore if I was preteen or younger and otherwise I'd be grounded FOREVER.
Its ok to prank your parents but not that bad, in my opinion.

I think I killed my journal, lol.

People do still read it and LIVE!

The Geese are acting like they are getting ready to start laying. They have enjoyed this pathetic winter as I finally put them back in their pond enclosure.
I think I will raise some Ducks this year but haven't yet decided on every breed but I do want Blue Winged Teals. Maybe some Pekinings.
I'm going to be splitting up my Pilgrim geese flock as its just too big and I've had some requests from neighbors with ponds or marshy areas for some year round waterfowl so I will be giving some away.
