a week's worth of ramblings

February 28, 2010
Last Sunday Dad and I went to look at a steer we sold that is going to the PEI Easter Beef Show and Sale. He certainly changed a lot. Will update on how he does. These guys had some awesome Monopoly and Milkman calves as well.

It has been about 50 years since there have been dairy cows on this farm but there's one here now. After a crazy heifer nearly killed her calf and another cow went down, we have two calves to feed. I called around and found a great cow that took to both calves right away.

I am looking for a new camera that takes videos or a video camera that takes stills. There are too many choices out there, any suggestions?

Today, however is a different story. Have about a foot and a half of snow and its going to get cold and blow.

Calving wasn't the best this week. We had one born dead yesterday and one laid on last night. Here's a story you won't believe... We had a heifer calve last week and she lost the calf but she wasn't done, she had another a week later! The vet says this is extremely rar...
