What blue potion was that baby drinking?

Bluelite. It’s an electrolyte mixture for calves.
That little calf was Lucy, she was my orphan calf “project.” My in-laws (including hubby) all went out of state and I was in charge of all the animals, including the 3 orphan calves from that season.
She was getting bluelite along with colostrum replacement because she was so weak and had horrible diarrhea. That photo was before she got bad.. I ended up having to tube feed her several times a day.
She didn’t make it, she died in my arms. It was an intense learning experience.

Made a mediocre grade on my diseases test. A little ticked off.
I studied my butt off, didn’t seem to do much.
Classmates were bragging that they skimmed their notes 30 minutes before class started. Good for you, I guess.

Now I’m looking at an all nighter while studying for a parasitology test tomorrow. Anyone got any ticks they want me to identify? Lol.

Another vet meeting tomorrow night, a 20 page biochem assignment due Thursday, an animal nutrition paper due over the weekend... I want to cry. And sleep. Cry myself to sleep.
I don’t know how anyone could possibly work as a full time student and maintain good grades (I’m of the opinion that you can’t).
Ready for this week to be over.

Yes, this is self inflicted, Nutty. Let me complain dammit! If I can’t quit then I’ll at least fantasize about it.

Dog, how goes the resume?

Elkman, did that fawn from several days ago ever make it out of your fence?

How’d you sleep last night, Nana? I bet those calves were plenty vocal.
How many head do you have? At the ranch we have to use horses to split the mommas up. Talented cutting horses are a beauty to watch.

i agree if my daughter isnt at school shes studying or something to do with school. She worked during her breaks

They are a cow-calf herd, meaning they have a permanent herd of cows that raise calves every season that are later sold for beef.

From hubby: “We have a mix of breeds. Mostly beef master, which is angus/Hereford/Brahman mix. Also red and black angus, and Charolais.
Our bulls are pure bred, 2 beef master, 1 hereford, 2 angus.”

Huh, very interesting. Never knew there was such a thing. Thanks!! And tell hubby thanks too. This is all very interesting to me and I love learning about it.

It probably seems ordinary/boring/normal/every day life to you guys but we don’t really have that stuff here

What blue potion was that baby drinking?

X2

Blue potion is mana potion.
Red potion is for health.

Why does the calf need mana? Growth potion is recommended. Just ask Alice when she is 10 feet tall.

Do you know why the sunrise is terrible in Athens?

Spoiler: Think about it...

Cause Dawn is tough on Greece.

OMG that sounds awful!! I’m so sorry.

X2!!!

I much prefer cooler weather. Or at least I used to. Idk. I get cold easily now where I never used to before!

I used to be able to go outside in a t shirt and shorts and no shoes in winter. Still do that sometimes.
