Well, the cow with mastitis finally calved yesterday, and her heifer calf went to be mothered by the young heifer who lost a calf to cord compromise (and who Margo's been milking twice a day for a week, such fun: more work during calving season); huge beautiful calf at birth, just like the last two who dwindled and made it to weaning 250 pounds lighter than their age-mates. Not happy about culling the cow, but she's the first mastitis case in the herd ever and at least gave me a purebred daughter to follow.

Nine cows to go two weeks into calving season. Two look very close, another two look like they may be empty (one of those won't be two until late May, the other weaned a calf that was 80% of her body weight and may not have had the body fat to ovulate last summer). It takes me about an hour twice a day to check all of them right now because their round bale got dropped the other side of the orchard and I con't do visual checks while doing chicken stuff. Makes for a very long day even when I'm not dealing with Anni-Frid and Agnetha's idea of a funny joke: digging nest holes under the foundation of the hoop house so that I get to dig for eggs

So, anyway: congratulations to those who are willing, commisterations for those who are grieving, seeya in Monroe, sorry, busy.

One of my good friends just stopped by and had a nice gift for me. She said she could have waited for my birthday ( July) but since life has been hard thought I could use a pick me up..

She got two pictures of Chickens for me I LOVE them. Now on top of all the stuff I'm moving I want to move more so I'll have the perfect spot for them. When I get time I'll take a snap of them.

Taking Abby in in a little while.......trying to stay distracted. Her leg keeps swelling up and looks so uncomfortable. Don't want to drag it out over the weekend or any longer. So she's going to visit Kelby at the Rainbow Bridge.


Kelby on left, Abby on right, at Deception Pass.
