One Fine Acre - 2023 4H Steer Project Update

[OneFineAcre]

Milk test next week
Everybody is still going strong except Ginger
She was under the weather earlier this week
She's better now but her milk dropped way off
Hoping we can coax her back up
She needs 40 lbs on volume but will have another test in Jan

 

[Southern by choice]

Sounds like she'll make it. That is only about 1 to 1 1/2 lbs day... depending on when in January.

Glad she is feeling better.

Poor girl. Hoping she meets the goal.

Actually she doesn't need that much
The 40 lbs was in Nov with 2 tests left
If she milks a pound next week that will be great
All of the other mature does are hanging close to 2 lbs
We've never milked ours this long
Usually after fair we start drying off
We are going to have to dry them quick in Jan

I'm still giggling about your daughter. She's at that age now where she's either going to rebel hard or stay straight. There's no in between.

Why would I be in trouble
I didn't do anything

Harboring a criminal is "not doing anything wrong"?
Aiding and abetting is "not doing anything wrong"?



Just messing with you OFA. Somehow I lucked out. I think the worst thing either of my girls (now 21 & 23) was DD2 deciding to cut her own bangs when she was in grammar school. Came home from work and she was wearing a hat or bandana, I don't recall. Something she NEVER did. Apparently it was sort of like leveling a table by cutting a little off this leg, then that one then another one. Her hair grew back.

Oh we had a hair cutting incident when she was 5
A bad one
I was watching a movie when Mom was at work
I actually took her to Great Clips and begged them to fix it
She left with a mullet

 

[Bruce]

And you both are still alive?? Your wife is very forgiving

 

[OneFineAcre]

I forgot
We are getting ultra sounds for all of the does tomorrow afternoon
I'll get pics
