Good Morning!--Chat thread

what would you do if you 60 cows or more to match the calves up to.

If your asking if I had 60 cows and had to find the mama to 1, I'd do it the same way as I did this one.
If I had to match up 60 cows to 60 calves?
I'd walk away and let them figure it out all on their own!

I do like your answer!

Your method was a very good way to find mom.

I never could get the calf beller down pat!

Normally I just call the dogs over to the calf and the mama steps up real quick! I figured todays calf was either from heifer that was not being a good mom or an old cow that knew the dogs were not a threat!
It was an old cow!

Chores are done! Hubby is some where between here and Oregon?
Time to just sit!
(at least until it's time to feed Smokey!)

Baby quilt is finally done! It should have been done hours ago if it weren't for my load, demanding, obnoxious family! They have learned a little respect tonight.

Good morning

I didn't have to cross the frozen tundra to check my heifer this morning!
Instead, I braved the wind and the rain, swam the muck, and hurdled the cold wet gate(OK, I crawled over the gate) just to see, NOTHING!
It would not have been too bad if I wasn't already chilled to the bone! Seems Bruisier has figured out how to open the front door!
Wouldn't be a bad thing, if he would learn how to close it!

Good afternoon,

Went shopping this morning and got a new pair of barn boots again! Maybe my feet won't get wet walking to the barn later. We went over to Stockman's in Osseo and they had a different brand of boot there. I'm hoping these will last longer than the other ones I normally get. I'm getting tired of having wet feet all the time due to poor boots getting holes in them!

I'm going to be looking at laptop computers. Anyone have any words of wisdom to part with?

Don't eat yellow snow?
Sorry, it's about the only words wisdom I know!


I got trapped on the barn by a good down pour!
So I dragged, carried and stacked for a week of feedings!
And, there are no more piles that can fall on my tractor! There is one stack that can fall on the weaner calves, but I think they would like that!

They probably would but, just think of the mess they would make of those bales and all the wasted hay you would have to clean out.
