Pictures?

That's up to you but, given you don't know much about her maybe. How is the calf doing? Sometimes an udder that doesn't look like it has much milk in it can fool you.

I was watching him when he found his first faucet, he had that quarter drained real quick! (then he spent another 5 minutes trying to get milk from her leg?)
He was chasing the dogs this morning!

Sounds like he's getting a good amount. Maybe would like more but, if he's chasing the dogs he's doing well.

Anyone know what these are? Not the equipment either!

I believe it's another sign of spring!

The first pic they are digging a new cranberry marsh. The second pic is an established cranberry bed.

I watched a "Dirty Jobs" show with Mike Rowe. They were harvesting cranberries. It was actually kinda neat how it was done.

It's getting to be done more and more by machines now.

Cool pictures Kitty!

We used to joke that we need to grow cranberries instead of cows!
We'd just have to put a BIG net at the end of the property to catch them when the fall rains come and wash them down the valley!

There is a lot of money in a bed. They have to remove the soil that is there and then haul in a certain kind of sand. If they have to buy the vines that's expensive. If they have established beds that they can clip the vines from then it's most definately cheaper.
