Bracelet
Sometimes critters do the damnedest things. I noticed a replacement heifer calf was limping on Sunday. I drove up to her to see what the problem was. It is a little cold and dry for foot rot so I wasn't sure what it could be. When I got up to her I figured it out.…

Calf Update
The feed is doing the trick. A few days ago <a href="http://nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/2210-Time-To-Feed.html">I talked about</a> how a some of the calves were coughing and not feeling good and I thought some feed would do the trick. It did. The calves are perking right up, the sick one is better and there is no visible coughing in…

Time To Feed
Yesterday I got the replacement heifers in so that the young person who got the <a href="http://www.meritheifer.com/prog.html">Merit Heifer that we donated</a> could pick her up. While getting the heifers in I noticed quite a few were coughing and one was acting a little sick. The sick one was not coughing but had a snotty nose,…

Long, Hot Day
Yesterday was sure a long, hot day. Worked all 500+ cows and then trailed them 5 miles out to the hills. Quite a chore. My two girls were exhausted last night and went to bed earlier than I have seen in a long time. Good, a little bit of hard work never killed anyone.<br />n<br…

I am not saying this is the same red calf I posted a picture of the other day but there is a hell of a difference in just a few months between the two.</center><br…
