LOL Yeah, I was jokin'...I probably wouldn't have even been able to speak to the man!

That's really awesome though!

I would have climbed on him! Pregnant or not!

My DH has a friend from Seattle who is an actor and is a dead ringer for Johnny Depp! He has actually been a double for Johnny Depp in a few movies. I should see if I can find his pic on FB...

When I was nine or ten- first year 4Her, in any case- I was hired to lead a perfectly tame and friendly Brown Swiss Junior Yearling Heifer for the 4H-FFA state championship judging at Puyallup; her muzzle was right at my face level, and she'd been eating spent brewery solids and had the worst breath ever for a cow.

I showed Holsteins (see dairy replacement heifer business) and my last one was a gem; she would stop and set herself up without a hand on the lead. We kept her as a family milk cow for ages after, and finally sold her to some who'd just moved to Rochester and were looking for a good cow to be around little kids.

(To keep this on topic, I just came in from contriving a small door for feeding treats to chickens; Ian and Sylvia had to supervise the operation, which made it more of a challenge).

My son was showing at ADGA Nationals and kept rubbing his white pants I couldnt tell why. Well when he stoped in front of me he told me and showed me the doe shot cude all over him. It was bad. But the doe did come in 6th at the National level. He was happy to smell than...

Better than a friend of mine who was working on his market steers's tail in Beef Fitting and Showing when the animal coughed and he suddenly was in matching green, cowboy hat to boots: he spent the rest of the hour walking around the ring in 90 degree heat while the stuff dried on, but at least he didn't get dinged for his show clothes being dirty?

Im glad to hear it..

With the warmer weather starting to come on and more sun light I am getting more eggs. The BCMs are laying everyother day...good for me. I just was watching Tyson (bantam roo) making the move on Emily. She started "nuzzling" him on the back of the head. Not sure what that was all about. Crazy birds.

She love's him.

Oh, sorry. I was thinkingg that was you that got knocked out. I knew that someone got their "bell rung" good. Very dangerous.

Happens way too easily, way too often; my sister was about five posts over her limit the day she clocked herself. They have an auger for setting wooden posts and a tractor-mounted power pounder for steel ones now, but my chicken project is way down the list of approved tractor use.

I forgot to say, Chickielady, that I love the names. We have had a tendency to name cattle with puns, or, at my house, pop culture connections. Right now I have a set of twin girls named Aurora and Ariel. Just lost poor Tara, who got hit in the eye with a paintball, but Willow lives on: they were born on the same day. Willow's mother was Laurel and her sisters are Anemone and Rowan. There's one line where we ran out of imagination entirely: cow Nilla, daughters Nada, Narry, and Nix. The BLRWs, who sang to each other in their dog carrier all the way back from Seattle, are Ian and Sylvia, and I'm here to swear that I forgot that the Canadian folksingers' last name was Tyson until I was looking up YouTube clips to show my daughter.


OOPS

OUr goats have names but they all have middle names too. Like Rose she is Rose Marie , Than Daisy who is Daisy Mae. Drives my son mad..

I have a couple of EE hens that will be two in June if you need them..

My cousin's two (Wheaten and Buff) have sort of put me off EEs by their lack of common sense; they always miss the chicken treats because they run for the hills when they see me and sneak carefully back just in time to miss whatever it was my pocket food was (I'm an insulin dependant diabetic), but thanks for the offer. I'm also looking for a nice wether to help me with blackberries and plum root suckers, but it soulds like you're fresh out?

Julia, my Great-Grandmother planted Himalays back when the Extension Service was promoting them as "an easy fruitful plant for the family garden" and I've got burls the size of volkswagons.

Cant feed the goats anything that is a stone fruit, so please keep them away from the Plum stock..
