It has been a very busy week. I moved the electronets in 100+ degree weather. I moved 6 strings to the woods and had to crawl under trees, trim bushes and very carefully go over a shallow rock face covered with vines. The goats are very happy in thier new digs.
I have 8 girls in with the bucks for December kids. Lets see how it goes!
I lost two turkeys to the !@#$ coons.
The cows come to visit for about a half an hour every evening. Jack is getting used to them.
The girls I have reserved will be picked up soon. They are all weaned. I listened to them scream all weekend.
'Nilla tore her ear tag last night. It ripped the entire length of her ear, about 4 inches. Split it in half. There was blood everywhere, it was an artial bleed. It was spurting like a high pressure hose with a pinhole leak. I had to cautarize it, pressure and blood-stop wasn't doing a thing. She is in a kidding stall with her own hay, grain mixed with Red Cell and a bad attitude. I had to bring her down in a wheel barrel, she refused to stand up and walk. I gave her Pen-G and will continue to do so for a few days. I have pictures. They are a bloody mess but they are at home and thing week is going to be very crazy. Maybe this weekend. Hubby was burned by the cautarizing rod. I didn't do it, he dropped it on his way back to the garage, right on his arm.
The best thing though.......... IT RAINED. Over an inch and for two hours. I was soaked to the skin in my blue jeans and doing the happy dance!!!!!!!!!

The inch we got last week was WONDERFUL but the creek only ran for three days before stopping again. The corn has perked up but isn't growing.
