You can and you may turn off the auto-correct. Do a search for your device's "how." Then again, it's so funny... it would be a shame if everyone did that.

Kiki, just for the heck of it, I tried to keep track of the stairs today.

309 stair steps which does dot include the multiple times up and down the hill. It also does not include moving branches and chipping the branches and spreading the wood chips that went on for 4 hours.

@CindyinSD — what breed of cows do you have? I would love one as a pet. The one that looks like the dogs that have so much hair it covers their eyes.

Are they expensive? Maybe I can convince my husband to buy me one next year.

ETA: oh wait are they cold weather type cows. I would hate to bring one down south and have it be miserable in the summers here.

My husband said he saw some minis like that for sale, we shall see.

She's a Scottish Highland and yes, bred for tolerance to the extreme winter weather. It gets awful hot here in summer too, though. They shed much of their pretty fur as soon as weather heats up. I brush her every day or two and the pasture is full of blond highland hair. We have a lot of shade for them to hide from the hottest part of the day. They didn't seem to suffer last summer.

There are Highland miniatures, but the ones I've seen have been so expensive and far away that I wrote them off as impractical. If you can find some at a reasonable cost, that would be pretty cool! If not, people seem to really like Dexters--not as fuzzy-adorable but good for milk and meat I hear, and sweet enough to fall in love with, furry or not.

I paid $750 each for three 1.5 yr heifers and $850 the next year for a nice 3 yr bull. That's a pretty good deal, I think. I sold all but Eden and her calf a couple weeks ago because I just can't afford to feed them through another long winter. We don't have enough land (12.5 acres) to warrant haying equipment and even if we hayed it, it wouldn't begin to feed them during the cold. Plus, that is their summer feed, so...

Yeah the mini highland owner is asking for $1,000 and we paid less per each bred Angus heifer who are due within a month or two so I can’t justify a pet that costs that much. At least not right now with the uncertainty, but they are sooo cute

We haven’t had a winter with our cows yet, so we still have yet to see how much it costs us to keep em throughout the winter. I actually need to start keeping track so we don’t lowball if we ever wanna sell part of the meat, since we don’t plan on selling a live cow anytime soon.

I don’t think so. At least I haven’t gotten one. I always liked those goal day ones too

 

[ShrekDawg]

I need to get moving

Thanks for starting one @casportpony

I don’t think so. At least I haven’t gotten one. I always liked those goal day ones too

I need to up my daily goal in a few days. 9 more days of doing 10k steps til I decide to up it to 12,000
