Good Morning!--Chat thread

[Farmer Kitty]

I hope your cold gets better this weekend!

-20 C is -4 F, if I'm reading my thermometer right! Please don't send that here! I've had enough of the neg. readings for this winter!

You should've seen when it was -35 with -50 C windchill 'round Xmas time! That was some nasty weather that went we went thru in those 3 weeks!

BTW, this chicken noodle soup sure hits the spot.

We had air temps that were -30 to -35 F with windchills up to -50 F. I'd rather have had your temps.

Is that homemade chicken soup?

I love naps!
Wish they didn't have to end!

Gotta go check a heifer, do my afternoon chores and try to find the kitchen! There seems to be a chunk of thawed fish in the fridge, I think I am supposed to cook it?

I suppose so. Unless you like raw fish that is.

Hmm... eat raw fish or cook it?
I will have to think on that one!

My first calf heifer Shorty, is acting weird, AGAIN!

No...soup from a can. :/ Still good though...

Good morning!

Everybody can take the day off and relax!(yea I know, dream on)
After many false alarms and long walks to the barn to check on her!
Shorty finally had her baby!
Don't know what it is, don't really care, it's up and eating!

I'm kinda torn on this one!
Mama is a 1st calfer and I think she might be out of a 1st calfer. She is what I classify as "brain dead"! That means she is calm, easy to handle and just a sweety! If it's a bull, I will have no problem shipping it!
If it's a heifer, I might be tempted to keep her even if I should not!

 

[wynedot55]

we dont ship any heifers to the sale barn.we keep them all.an they make real good cows.thats the reason we have 90 cows an heifers right now.

 

[Farmer Kitty]

We keep all of our heifer calves too!

What is wrong about one being easy and calm?
