Surviving Minnesota!

Congratulations! I am jealous--I wish I could fit a Guernsey in my backyard.
(And my hubby complains that my dogs are too big,lol!)

Thanks!! This brought the herd up to 36 cows. I wish we could get more Tarentaise but they r impossible to find. If I have a farm when I am older I am going to make the trip to Montana for 3 or 4 heifers and AI till have enough to where I need a bull.


Edited to say accidently did 36 and not 26

Ok, I misunderstood you. BUT I do not talk female very well and misunderstand a lot. Just ask Judy.

I am through plowing snow for today.    I put one of those expensive braided stronger than steel guaranteed to no backlash on the drum PVC/Kevlar  cables for my ATV.

Well, It broke backlashed and looks to be a real mess in there. I have decided to fix it tomorrow. My thumb is too cold tonight.  I went to get the bobcat to finish plowing, but it is blocked in the shed by the trailer full of Lumber I was hiding from Judy.  I need my truck to move the trailer out.     I had snow piled about 4 ft high behind the truck when the guaranteed to never break cable broke.    Fine fix I am in now.

If I cannot get the cable to unwrap tomorrow I will have to unload the trailer by hand, stack the wood somewhere so I can move the trailer by hand. Not looking forward to that.  OR  I could shovel by hand a 4 ft tall 8 ft wide 13 ft long pile of frozen snow.. Looking forward to that even less.

In addition when I was in at noon I looked at my incubator the one with the eggs set to hatch on the 10th, It was at 103 degrees!  I am hoping it is still okay, The probe was moved out of place. I am hoping the probe was touching the heating element and the temp was not really 103.    This is fast becoming a bad day.

In addition I got only 3 creamette eggs and no PC eggs. and the one wrinkled toad egg.

I think I need a Yukon jack,,,

That is a fine fix to be in indeed! You need a tractor to prevent this from happening again

Well we bought a cow today!! My grandpa found an ad for eight bred angus so he bought 7 and told us there was one left and we got it. We are going to go to the auction next Tuesday and find a bull and maybe more heifers. We are looking for a MONSTER balck angus bull. But they r hard to find a giant...

Well thats good. Your Grandpa must share a farm with you and if that is so, thats such an ideal way to live.Just put the chicks to bed and am going to go read and then catch some shut eye myself. The days are busy and fly by. Good night Holms.

Sorry to hear about the lack of quality service some of you have encountered at your local Menards store. My solution is for you to shop at Menards Hermantown store, as the service I have experienced there has always been excellent.

Nathan, nice videos. Now put that creative genius to work on the resurrection of the Maiden Rocks.

Holm, I think that your logic is faulty with regard to the Tarentaise. You should be interested in quality Red Angus or Shorthorn. If you must have something out of the norm then go with Marray Grey. The production of choice to prime beef from cows of moderate size with calving ease is what one should be striving for, if profit is the goal for the long term.

The Goshawks have eliminated most of the rabbits and grouse in my area and would have chicken for lunch if I would let them out.

Ralphie, it was a big mistake to block that skid steer in, and if you do not correct that problem you are doomed to experience successive heavy snow episodes until you do. Murphy's Law.
