Sweet!!
I just love the pictures of your house/barn!
May I ask how that affects your home owners insurance?

Thanks, Tonya! Our insurance is bogus because we're designated as commercial. If we built a house then we could be considered residential. I don't really understand it, something to do with the frost footings.

She certainly is! She was bobbing her head and huffing as I was trying to get a picture. Bluffing little booger

I used to whelp litters in the warm upstairs bathroom. Sometimes hours went by, so always glad to have potty available and running cold water to drink. Also easier to clean flooring. I miss those days - last litter was in Nov.1980.*

*Last Cocker litter.

It wasn't me!!! We had plenty of our own.


Which I believe will now again look like (new) BYH. The thing I like least is how the emojis work. Have to pop up the selection panel every time you want to put one in vs the way it is here now and was there - the selection panel stayed up until you hit "post reply".


In Spain the farmers lived over the barn. Animals heated the floor.

House looking out into the barn is super convenient Meg! No hanging out in a cold barn waiting on babies or slogging out through the snow to get to the barn for chores!

Looking out is handy! We have cameras above the pens, as well. We have to cover them in plywood so they cannot see the dogs as they walk by and also so the calves don't end up outside of the pen.

I love these cows!

Happy you do, Cap! Here's a couple more. Been a full barn.

Had 5 today.

Imagine though when someone asks about your mother, and you have to say "My mother is a cow?" Sorry my brain isn't functioning well.

 

[drumstick diva]

Meg you certainly have nice areas for them to whelp in. Sorry I pretty much remember just dog terms. Long term memory much better than short term. Are the Calves the gender's you were hoping for?
