Just now having my first cup of coffee for the morning.....
took out the dogs first thing, then went ahead and fed and watered the flocks in the barn, took feed to the wild goose feeder, let the tame geese out, and took feed and water to the flocks in pens.
Then...we put the cow in the back pen, wheelbarrow end the calf thru the mud to the back pen, attempted to get the calf to take a teat; when that failed, we milked out the cow, strained it and added the last of the colostrum formula to it, attempted to bottle feed the calf and ended up tubing her again.
Then there was the muddy clothes to go into the wash and the clean ones from last night to fold out of the dryer...and the bottles to wash and clean up the kitchen.
the rain gauge shows 1.25 so far since yesterday...looking forward to more rain today although it means more laundry to do...
it's amazing how muddy you get when you slop thru mud in a pen....
Headed to town in a bit to purchase milk replacer at the feed store and then I need to cut up 16 pounds of strawberries to make jam. Our local grocery (Firelake) had them for $1 a pound...couldn't pass that up.
Jcatblum...how is Bambi doing...hope she has her kids when the weather is nicer....
