How do you keep up with all the births?

well Mike is supposed to be check the main herd. BUT I think he's 1/2 blind OR not doing it OR is to afraid of Sunny to go in the tit area. (I don't blame him for the last one)

pen and paper and then computer. Also a note pad in the truck and list on the fridge at the farm.

So Twist. How many chicks did you order, and how many losses did you sustain?

Does Sunny actually charge people? Is she that dangerous? Did you breed her on the farm? Who's her dam?

ordered 50 they sent 54 or 55 and have lost 12 total. The rest are running around like a weight watchers meeting where some one tossed in a snickers bar.

I got her in a trade for some bull calves. She "took" the previous owner the day we picked her up. BUT he was in a small pen with her and smacking her across the head with one of those "fish bats' to get her to go where he wanted her to. She wasn't bad until we weaned the first calve off her (for us) BUT she has just gotten worse every year. Neither of her 2 calves are like that at all. Believe you me I am watching for signs from them.

So she lost her first calf. Then had Partly Sunny and last year Sunny Delight. Thinking maybe Sunny Side up for this years heifer.

she is the one you thought was mistreated. Do you still think that?

Sunny is a BIG cow and her coming 2 year old daughter is almost as big IF not the same size as Curly Sue who is 4.
