Thank you, Sbc! The cow is a real sweetheart and let me milk her two times today. The evening milking I was sitting there and would start laughing because I got more milk on her leg, my jeans, and sweatshirt than in the durn bucket, also, my hands would cramp up because I'm not used to it and she would turn and look at me like lady you have no clue what you are doing and you should really hurry up! Oh, I've named her Cherry Pie....#1 reason. When my grandpa and his sister (my aunt...obviously) were growing up they had I think two jersey milk cows and my aunt was telling me about how one of the cows 'Cherry' was ride-able and she would ride the cow all over the farm. #2. There's a song called Cherry Pie and I thought it would be an adorable name. Baby still has no name yet but I'm leaning towards Knuckle Head...he's not too bright just yet. Haha, totally kiddin'!

I saw my FIRST coyote the other day, talk about a HUGE animal. You know, now that I think about it that sucker was realllyyy stinkin' big, could have been a wolf!? Idk.... anyway it was pretty!

OH! Here's Cherry Pie and Knuckle Head!

Coyotes with there fluffy coat can look to be about the size of a lab. While wolves ( at least in the west) appear to be the size of a skinny saint bernard or taller. As far as I am aware there arent wolves in the east...but thats just as far as I know. Also, that baby needs to come live with me.

oh Neener, I the cows! Can I please have the little baby... please
so glad you post pictures!

The discription of you milking her is just too much wish you had a video of that!

Amazing animals... one of my favorite bulls (bucking) is "Rango".

BrownSheep, this thing was HUGE, but perhaps it started getting its fluff then. Want him? He's a dingus!

SBC, Come and get him!

My dad made a milker so Cherry doesn't have to keep looking at me like "Are ya done yet?!". I actually think she likes the pump milker better than me hand milking!

neener- so funny I was looking at your journal because I think you should post that baby lil boy's picture for picture of the week!

Can I come pick him up next week?

Remember post that baby!!!

 

[neener92]

I'll try to figure out how to do that!

Come get the stinker anytime!

So, I got my Blue Silver Fox doe...finally! I also picked up a New Zealand/Rex buck from 20kids. I am pretty excited about them! Now I can almost say we have every kind of farm animal you could imagine! .....just missin' a llama, I think that's all.

I also got a huge rabbit hutch! It is 10ft long and 4ft wide. One cage is 2x4 and I think the other two are about 4x4, but I think the end one is smaller. Anyway I have to fix it up a little; put a new roof on it, we cut the legs off a foot they were like three feet tall, fix the front part, and just a few other things.

I got a gallon of milk out of Cherry this morning. I've started weaning the calf at night so I only have to milk mornings. I also think her being a heifer she isn't producing what she will her next time calving.

I've been getting things ready for colder weather....cleaning out the barns and putting down fresh straw, cleaning up all my chick feeders and waterers, fixing whatever needs fixed before it gets too cold.

Any who, here are some pics!
Side of the cage before we cut a foot off the legs.

I'm going to redo this part.

All right neener... ya think I could put that lil baby bull in the back of my 15 passenger van? your only about 7 hrs away!
"Thumper" is too cute!

FWR, Thank you! We are very happy with her, esp happy that she is soo friendly! I love her color! She kind of blends in with our Black Angus herd but the red on her back thankfully gives her away!

SBC, I think he will fit! Though he's growing VERY fast....better hurry!
