Shhhhhhh.....
Your not supposed to tell anybody we get dry spells!
That's a secret!

 

[amysflock]

Yeah, if only they could hear us whine when it happens! People would probably think we're nuts!

Good news...so far I have two possible clean up bulls. We can have Tabor back in two months when he's done breeding back Sheila's daughter, OR we can possibly have a really nice older yellow bull with GREAT lines next month from Eastern WA. Still need to call about that Sedro-Woolley bull to see if he's still across the freeway in Rochester (and I don't even know which of their bulls it is, actually, might not be a good match for Bridgit).

Good morning! It's a cool, gray day so far in SW WA...yay! That gives me motivation to get back outside and pull some more bracken fern....that is, after I make some calls. Need to schedule the hoof trimmer to come out and take care of Sheila's feet (and probably Bridgit's this time, too), see if a bull from 350 miles north is still doing a "job" 10 miles across the freeway from here (clean up bull for us, maybe?), and get pain meds refilled for our old dog, Maggie. Whew. Oh, and take some more photos of the chicks!

Hey Amy!
There's a guy renting bulls on craigslist!
He doesn't have any Highlanders, but he has a Brahma!
You could make hairy flop eared cattle!

Sorry, this holding my breath waiting for Beefmaster pictures is making me a little loopier tham normal!

Sounds like someone needs to figure out how to get a rented bull past DH!

We keep telling you not to hold your breath! It's dangerous to your health!

Sorry, thewife, but we've secured a Highland bull! No Brahma-cross here. The bull from a herd in Sedro-Woolley (300+ miles north, toward Canada) hasn't been picked up yet from Rochester (10 miles west of us), so we'll get him, even though he's lined up for another "job" up north! The breeder, who had originally planned to come by and evaluate the soundness of our calves, will do that when he comes to pick him up from our place. YAY!

He recommends we have a vet out to check Bridgit for cysts, which is a good idea, and then, too, we can have both calves tatooed and get everyone vaccinated.

(You can't tell, but I'm jumping up and down over here!)

No hairy Brahamas?
No Beefmaster pictures?
And Kitty thinks I should quit holding my breath?

What's next?
