I saw this on my news feed the other day! AWFUL!
People are getting more and more corrupt in the mind.

There was a bee yard destroyed in Iowa awhile back and one in CA. The one in Iowa was done by some kids and they did catch them. A group of people in the community did a Go Fund Me campaign and raised the money for them to replace their bees and equipment. The one in CA they don't know who did it but the idiots opened the hives and poured diesel on them; I don't think that they burned the hives but destroyed them and killed the bees none the less. I now this. What is this sudden assault on bees?

 

[Baymule]

That is terrible. These vandals have destroyed more than just bees. Think of the pollination done by all those bees. Our food sources depend on pollination done by bees. This person sold the honey made by the bees and now that income is gone and replacing the bees will be very costly. Mean, hateful idiots.

Had the vet out to do ultrasounds today

The big question was Clarabelle bred
Maybe he thinks
She definitely didn't settle on the first breeding because she would be close to 60 days and that is actually the optimum time to do the ultrasound
For the 2nd breeding she would be less than 30 days and its hard to tell for sure
I think we are going to send a milk sample in about 10 days
We should have gotten him to draw blood today but didn't think about it until he left
Rosie isn't bred we didn't think she was
Ginger isn't bred
All the rest are confirmed
We know a lot have at least 2
We had him do the FF but we knew they were all getting udders
He can't tell much about the numbers for the ones closer to kidding but he could usually get close to the due date

It's nice having a vet that still makes farm calls.

 

[OneFineAcre]

I forgot to mention
Our first kids are due this week
Cleaned stalls today

YAY! Sure hoping Clarabelle settled.
