Look at this Cow & calf pics I took at last year's fair here in Pac County..I LOVE THIS BREED::
Cow & calf resting....

Then Mom wants up...

Get up!! she says....

I am trying Mom !!!
I wanted so to loosen his lead.....

Finally up and ready for lunch...such a beautiful breed.
Some folks raise them out here, they are awesome white & red, all with identical markings.
And this will bring back memeories I am sure, for Stumpfarmer...

Little 45 pound skinny girl showing this awesome steer...her baby.

Oh, lord. When I was dealing with the fatigue of having my husband in the hospital, his back surgery interrupted by 42 hours in the ICU, no chair for me in the ICU room until the last morning he was there, sleeping on a damp futon in a basement (which Deirdre rescued me from) and having my meds and food all fouled up by the crazy maze that is Virginia Mason, I suddenly realized that except for getting up at 4:30 am and shovelling manure and washing cattle, it was exactly like showing cattle at Puyallup.

Anyone know how to get ahold of Nivtup ?

He wanted rabbits, and I got them for him~~~~
I sent a PM, but he seems to be sporadic on the computer.

Damp futon ?
Too bad you didn't have a nice fuzzy warm steer to sleep on..that little girl was totally asleep!!
So darn cute!!
Those folks raise prize Herdfords here in South Bend, and have thousands of trophies, and a horde of little skinny toe-headed kids all showing....

Ok so in my incubator the big one, my temps range from 100 on the top to 99. on the bottom shelf.
Is there any way you can read the temp where the eggs would be? I think Id do it the might hatch a little early thats all. I just make sure in the one hubby made me that is doesnt get up to 102..

Thank you - with enough hand holding from a few others and the steady temp of 100, I decided to just go ahead and set them. The eggs seem happy so far, rocking slowwwwly back and forth on the cradle. I haven't even gone to look at them in the past 42 minutes - that's just how cool and confident I'm feeling now...

Since I set them about 1 PM today, that makes tomorrow Day 1, correct? I did read somewhere on the forum not to count days so much, but look at weeks on the calendar. If I set on a Friday, then 7 days is next Friday, etc. I've marked the heck out of my calendar for checking water levels, weeks, lockdown, etc. I like things in writing so I don't have to depend on an aging brain.

Southsiders? Westsiders? Enumclaw, Puyallup, Lake Tapps, Bonney Lake, Tacoma, Lakewood, Raymond, Gig Harbor, Key Peninsula, any body from anywhere I haven't mentioned from towns I cannot locate on a map - Even our Northerners are welcome. Anyone else interested for a meet-up at a comfortable wine shop set easily off the freeway in the heart of Tacoma some Wednesday evening after 6 PM? I've got keys to the shop and a bottle opener for wine tasting! Let me know and we can set a date!
