Just bring a side dish.<BR/><BR/>Monica, I like cows. :D <BR/><BR/>The Fool, not sure where all it ended up. But after 2 years oe would think it had all been consumed.<BR/><BR/>Tim, I know it feels great. Maybe it is the whole not much to do in the winter thing. Hopefully I can start milking Edie after the calf comes.<BR/><BR/>Stephanie, I know! Maybe we should keep a log of when we are at our worst, then start getting animals knocked up so that they give birth about that time.<BR/><BR/>Maggie, see! I told you :D<BR/><BR/>Thank you Farm mom.Phelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250080326099834661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-38250588303665197772008-03-05T06:17:00.000-06:002008-03-05T06:17:00.000-06:00Glad you're finding happiness in your cows phelan,...Glad you're finding happiness in your cows phelan, hope it continues!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-2914287319285105482008-03-04T20:00:00.000-06:002008-03-04T20:00:00.000-06:00If your happy now just wait for the calf!!! My fa...If your happy now just wait for the calf!!! My favorite chore was feeding the calves. We had a jersey and two holstein. they are so sweet. Those big eyes and eyelashes. And those huge baby bottles were a blast too. How will you be milking? Is that a weird question? What I guess I mean is that although we started by good old hand we had a single mechanical pump for Clarabell. I can't imagine what they have now but I loved hanging on the fence watching grandpop get the machine ready he would always spray the barncats first and they loved it too.... Hey your cows are even making me happy. Havn't thought some of these thoughts in some time.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08645641129813500105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-62607442972307607742008-03-04T17:07:00.000-06:002008-03-04T17:07:00.000-06:00Funny the things we do with animals! :0 I was in a...Funny the things we do with animals! :0 <BR/><BR/>I was in a bit of a funk and our twin lambs being born pulled me right out. <BR/>Too bad we can't afford to purchase new cows or cue mama's to give birth when we need are down! :)Stephanie Appletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07411714132368771649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-86992809872481549412008-03-04T14:32:00.000-06:002008-03-04T14:32:00.000-06:00Nothing like good old hard work.
