Spring Arrival

We had a new arrival this evening after milking. Blanche, one of our show cows delivered a big bull. We were extremely disappointed because it wasn’t a heifer! JW and I had to pull the calf, but Blanche took over and gave him a good start in life. We milked her and then fed him some colostrum before coming in for the night.

    Well Kent, if you keep reading this, you may learn a lot more about dairy farming! How close are you to harvesting wheat? I saw in a paper they were hiring truck drivers for the harvest.
