My Siamese cat 'dies' if you put a collar on him. It is so funny when they do that.

How long was Cynthia dead?

I love Danny, he needs his own thread!

What a RAM bunctious little guy...
We managed to revive her after a couple minutes. :lol:

A thread of his own....hmmm.....I'll have to think about that. I think celebrity status might give Danny a big head.

Danny helped me work on the pig pen.....did I say that we are getting some pigs? 4 of them. I'm a little nervous. We've never had pigs before.

Can someone please tell Gretel to lamb already?? She's going to explode. I'm taking bets on whether she's having 2 or 3.

She's teasing me tonight. I am pretty sure she is in labor so I am staying up, but I will feel pretty stupid (and tired) in the morning if it turns out she just had bad gas. She has a number of the signs of labor, but nothing definitive. Unless you count the fact that she has a bag full of colostrum that actually can be milked out already.

In other news, we are getting 2 bull calves tomorrow. One is full Holstein and the other is 1/2 Jersey 1/2 Holstein. I'll post pictures when they arrive.

The contrast of the black & white lambs together looks really pretty in that pic. Hope you get your babies tonight!! :)

Well, I haven't a clue what that sheep is up to (besides giving me a bad nights sleep).

Gretel has not lambed yet, I am operating on less than 4 hours of sleep, and I HAVEN'T HAD BREAKFAST YET!!!!! Yup, it's going to be a wonderful day. :rolleyes:

Here are the 2 new boys. We picked them up this morning.
