CALF SUCKED DOWN TWO QUARTS OF MILK THIS MORNING AND WANTED MORE. NO FOOLING AROUND, GIMME THE BOTTLE! PETE AND I CLEANED THE MORSBACH FARMS SOUTH GUEST HOME IN PREPARATION FOR 3 HUNTERS COMING TONIGHT. PETE'S A PRETTY GOOD HOUSEKEEPER, EVEN MOVED THE COUCH AND END TABLES WHEN HE VACUUMED.
LATER PETE HAULED AND SPREAD YOU KNOW WHAT UNTIL HE HAD THE BARNYARD CLEAN. I MIXED PAINT AND PAINTED THE INSIDE OF THE BIG GRAVITY BOX. FINALLY HAD TO PUT IT INSIDE BECAUSE OF RAIN POSSIBILITIES.
GREG BROUGHT THE CATTLE TRAILER BACK, SPREAD SOME STRAW ON THE FLOOR AND BROUGHT CALF BACK TO HER APARTMENT. FED CALF A QUART OF ELECTROLYTES AT NOON. SHE SAID GIMME THAT BOTTLE. WHO KNOWS SHE MAY EVEN LIVE. THANK YOU LORD!
PULLED POSTS AND ROLLED UP THE PLASTIC FROM THE CALVES SILAGE BAG. WILL USE THIS TO WRAP GREEN BALES FOR THE SUMMER. LAST THING BEFORE PETE LEAVES, WE TAKE A TOUR OF THE COW PASTURE. HAVEN'T HAD ANY CALVES FOR MANY A DAY. WE HAD TO SEARCH, BUT FOUND A BRAND NEW MALE CALF HOURS OLD. MAMA WAS HIDING HIM. ALSO A TREE HAD FALLEN ACROSS THE FENCE, SHORTING IT OUT. HAD TO FIX THAT.
WENT BACK TO THE HOME AND CHECKED EVERYTHING OUT, LEFT THE HOUSE BOOK, WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO TELL YOU THE WHAT AND WHERE OF EVERYTHING IN THE HOUSE ON THE COFFEE TABLE. IT'S NOT COMPLETE, BUT WHATS NEW.
SEE IF YOU CAN FIND THE SQUIRRELS?
The calf's name is Jasmine!
