I think I will sit a spell!

Ok - so, just finished candling and charting. Yes, I said charting - I'm an engineer, what'd you expect?

Anyway, it looks like I'm doing pretty well on overall weight loss. Air cells are about where they should be. I have three definite non-fertiles and two possible early deaths. I'm not writing off the suspects, yet, though. Just because I didn't see what I expected doesn't mean they don't have a chance. So, they have until next candling to get their act together. I'm about 80% certain they are EDs though Still, that leaves me with 11 viable eggs going into the next stage. Not too shabby. Halfway there.

Hey does anyone have any SLW around 15-20 weeks old?

We are getting drenched right now! Chicks are getting their first rain! Were having fun earlier, but we will see how they are tomorrow!

Love sleepin to the rain!

You mean one that's not a hatchery mutt?

Mine are supposed to be SLWs; but, we've all seen the evidence that someone was playing on the wrong side of the fence.

And I guess I should update. I was able to get back 3 of my 4 cows. One is still missing, presumed sold, and criminal theft charges for cattle theft have bee filed and hopefully served. She has 10 days to comply and give us back the cow, first, or pay $6500 plus court, our traveling expenses, and any other damages the judge racks on, up to$10k.

I would post a picture of the deplorable conditions I got them back in, but I will spare everyone. Instead I will just show this one. The brown steer was born Aug 15. The black heifer, one born to my cow in their care, was born Nov 1.

OK....does anyone have "pretty black and white laced birds" of some sort that lay edible eggs for sale?

Ouch...I'm glad you got back the three of them. I hope she gets her act together and gets you the fourth PDQ.

I really hope so too. Pedigree alone makes her the most expensive, but she is invaluable because she will nurse/raise any calf you give her like she was a dairy cow.

I was just wondering what was happening with your cows. Glad you got some of them back and I hope they weren't badly injured or anything. The brown steer and I share a birthday! I doubt you'd want to name it heather though.

Hope you get mama back!
