Farm chatter

A mod, or Black Cat. Probably shouldn't ask a mod to take the poll down, though, unless we ask Black Cat first.

If black_cat is the one who put it up, then it's fine. I was just worried that it was contributing to her feeling bad.

No, poll is fun and games

Good day, everyone! Thank you to everyone for their concern for Curly. We also have a bull calf named Alvin who has the cow flu. Please keep him in your prayers too. We tube fed him this morning.

Aw, poor boy. What's wrong with Curly? I will pray for him and you too. I know illnesses are taxing on the caretaker just as much as they are on the animal.
Good Afternoon everyone.

Thank you. Curly had a baby, which unfortunately was dead. She then got a fever. We had the vet come out, and he checked her over and gave her some pain killer. My dad gave her a magnet too, just incase she had eaten a piece of metal in her hay and that was hurting her.

On a good note, we also had a small herd pregnancy check, and out of the 11 (I think that's how many were checked) 9 of them were pregnant! Praise the Lord!

Oh, that's too bad. My sister's goat died the other day, he was her only one. She's pretty upset about that. A magnet, that's super interesting. What does that do?
That's great!!!

Aw, I'm sorry about your sister's goat!

A magnet is supposed to collect any metal that the cow might have eaten. We are into hay season here at our farm. Lots of things can get baled up during the summer, including metal. So, if any metal is poking her insides, it's supposed to make it stop.

I’m so sorry about curly now! I wonder if I could even be a bit of grief if cows do that. Also congrats on the 9 pregnancies

I don't understand what you mean by that... could you rephrase, please?
