I thought I was done with babies!!

Last night, Kelly and Logan took grandpa's truck and headed to WI.  They returned a little before 9 with 2 baby 2 week old jersey bull calves.   The boys were quite excited to see 2 calves, as they were under the impression that Logan was getting one tonight.  We unloaded them and made them comfortable in their new homes.   The boys wanted to stay and watch them, but it was already past bedtime.

The calves made it through the night with Kelly and I getting very little sleep as we listened for coyotes, and any noise from the calves.  Glad to say that they both survived the night.

The boys were up early to make bottles and feed.  Very excited to this today, let's hope the excitement continues.

Farm Visit

On Sunday we built a calf barn in hopes of buying some calves soon.  We figured we should have a place for them before we get to serious about looking for something to buy.










 
We also went to one of Mom's coworkers to farm to look at some calves.  It was a big farm with lots of different animals: goats, sheep, chickens, cows, horses, donkeys, and a brand new calf.  We looked at everything.  The calves were yearlings, so they were a bit bigger than we wanted, but we did get a chance to milk a cow.

"SORRY" 

Today is St.Patrick's Day...... So i made green eggs and ham and green pancakes for breakfast. While we were eating, Logan got up to get water and.... He said,"sh,sh,sh  I see three deer.    He was right!  Walking through our back yard was a doe and 2 fawns.

Today I gathered 5 eggs for the chickens.  Wacky laid a very small egg, it looks funny.  This was the first time we have seen something like this. She might be half quail.

                                                      **CHICKEN FACT**

                   Chickens aren’t completely flightless—they can get airborne enough to make it over a fence or into a tree.

       "PLESE COMMENT"   Today I yolk up at 8:00 a.m. I got mom out of bed, to come out with me. When we go in the coop I grabbed a egg. We saw Wacky & Rosa in the nest boxes. Then mom said,"is that all the eggs?" I said," yes maam, I usually get one every morning ." Next we stayed in it for 3 more min. talking. Then        Rosa jumped out of the box. So I looked in the box and I found a nice warm, sticky, and light brown egg. 

              Me and dad started some fires in the stump pile. I ran to the coop and I found a white egg. SO I brought it in to mom. Then I got two more latter that night. :}              





                                                        **CHICKEN FACT**
