Late breaking, exciting news. My wife, went to the barn on her own and by herself. She walked through the barn and into the field to get to the babies and ended up spending time with all of the goats. There is hope.
The only thing that will get my mother out to the animals is babies. They melt even my mothers heart and when it comes to animals she is an ice queen.

77 - Only because you are in a Hospital and bored.

This morning, I decided that Nina and I are going to start our morning ritual of milking. She hoped right into the milking stand. I gave her a dairy cut. She did not care at all. Then I put the milking pale under her and milked her for about 5 minutes. My first real milking. She was so good. Me not so much. With my right hand, I did great, with my left, just could not get the hang of it. We will work it out.

So what do you think of her udder? I am not trying to win any shows or competitions, but would you buy her kid doe if she were bred to a good quality buck?

The results. Like I said, this was our first time and I did not even begin to milk her out.

And while Mom was in the milking stand, the girls hopped around and watched to see what we were doing.

My Son's college friends are here for the weekend. They had never been on a draft horse. Here is just one photo. Blue is the Belgian and Luna is the Percheron.

Honestly, Blue looks absolutely miserable in that pic. Its such a shame to see an animal that unhappy.

You should send her to me, maybe she'd perk up if she was mine. :p

I'd take that udder. Looks better than some of them I have now. (God bless them, I love em all, but some udders are better than udd, I mean, others)....

I don't think RTG would love Blue enough...but I would. And wouldn't want Luna to get lonely, so I'd better just take both.

Bring 'em to Herdstock, ok?

No, no they would do better on more acreage, send them over, lol. I actually like the looks of Blue but usually prefer Perch's.
At first when searching for Drafts to use, I was looking for Percherons. We have American Creams in my old neck of the woods but they are a little pricey.

Yeah those udder look pretty nice to me. In fact they look better than my Nubians were but my Alpines are pretty nice.

You guys are funning. Unfortunately, Blue is not going any where. She is my baby. I love them both.

Today was a beautiful day. All the animals had a great day today. More chicks than I know what to do with. I need to fine some buyers.
