Quite a Contrast
<center><b>FROM THE PHOTO ARCHIVES </b><br />nNew not previously published<br />n<br />nWith the <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2006/07/17/news/state/25-hardin_g.txt">fires</a> and hot temperatures I thought a look back at winter was appropriate.</center><br />n<br />n<center><a href='http://www.sarpysam.net/gallery/Calves/calves12142005?full=1'><img width='640' height='480' border='0' hspace='5' src='http://www.sarpysam.net/gallery/albums/Calves/calves12142005.sized.jpg' alt='' /></a></center><br />n<br />n<center>The calves coming into feed during near blizzard conditions.

Waiting For The Next Blow
My Darling Wife always tells me that bad things happen in packets of three. I'm waiting for the third one.<br />n<br />nTo start with <a href="http://nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/1694-Cows-Are-Out.html">the little lady</a>, the last bum I found, died last night. It wasn't particularly surprised by this. I had fed it and doctored on it but I could not get…
