Thanks so much for dropping in Julia, and on little sleep to boot! Please drop by again and let us know how the heifer and twins fared, and hopefully the backhoe is repaired by now… I’m thinking you’ll be needing it soon if this weather pattern continues…

It wont keep the laundry completely off the line however. This time we had one of our heifers start looking like she was going to give birth, so we moved her to a smaller field with a shelter (sending one of our more experienced mother cows with her). I have to admit I didn’t sleep much last night worrying about her.

She is doing fine, but it looks like it might be twins. Twins are not typically a good thing with cattle as they are nearly always breech. I just set up a camera in the lean-to so I can check on her every hour or so without trekking out in the snow (the backhoe broke while we were plowing out her field in the dark last night, so we have not been able to finish plowing yet).

Wonderful to have customers like you and honored to make your blog.
Julia

They are always informative, intriguing, very funny and many times inspirational. Today got a super surprise to see Susie with a tale of WINTER SNOW, duties of a farmer’s wife, and high flying clothes drying!!!! Who could have dreamed this up – stranger than fiction but so entertaining!!!! Hope Susie has recouped from her backhoe job and has recovered! Two talented bloggers in the same family, so impressive, love you both and tell her I’m still laughing with delight!
