Granny's gone and done it again

[CapricornFarm]

Well I am here BUT tired.

Yesterday was 'mixed" The new owner of Beary and Kleansor is very chuffed with them and they loaded beautifully.

Then found Janet aka the Slacker (was 18) 1/2 in the creek DOA evidently she was fine Friday late afternoon. Looked like she fell thru the ice layer ( 2 to 3 inches thick) and then down to the ground which was about 2 feet lower. I suspect that she ended up having a heart attack as the ground was a bit plowed/dug up where she had been trying to get back out. There was NO water where she fell thru. 10 years out there and have NEVER had layers of ice over and empty creek bed. And ALL the adults have been cris-crossing the creek all over and bouncing all around the big pasture.
She is currently down in the burn pit beside old 19 who was her buddy , I think for most of their lives.

Ugh, so sorry Twist!

Didnt you trade him?

NOPE he bought the 2 boys for a grand, total. They weren't registered BUT they could be..
those two are both brothers thru porter and then uncle/nephew as mom's are Comet and Hailey.

Thats odd, Maybe Wishing or someone can explain the mechanics behind a dry creek bed. Just seems off somehow.
Dont you have a bobcat ? Would slamming the bucket down break the ice ?

not with some of the angles and the steepness of the banks. AND not sure but there might be water in some of the deeper spots. Just don't know where exactly they are.

Sorry for your loss Twist. Falling through the ice might give me a heart attack too.

Penny had 2 goatlings. One black with white ears & spot on forehead. The other was stretched out, cold but alive. I brought it inside & put it in front of a heater. Dd blew it dry with blow-dryer. I think it's dead. It was the color of dodger, taupe & black.

Sorry about that, maybe you can get It going

Haven't done that trade yet, he's getting 4 now yearling bulls for those 2 cows. I was doing that for 5 reasons. 1) get rid of bulls 2) replace the loss of Star and 19 3) I really really really wanted the young one. 4) new bloodlines. 5) get rid of some bulls.

LOL

I know mine did a couple flips when I went thru the ice just trying to get to her and get a chain around her neck.
