No, Spooky is still hanging on. She ...Hi, missicat! No, Spooky is still hanging on. She could have her calf today, tomorrow, or two weeks from now! The Bag Lady was sure a little while ago that she would be first... Sometimes, it's really hard to tell.<BR/>We had over 50 cows at this time last year, then decided we would sell the herd, and just keep the heifers (young females who haven't had calves yet) from the previous year. However, when the trucks came to take the cows to market, there wasn't enough room on the trucks for all of them, so we kept 6 old girls (of course, if we had known they wouldn't all fit, we would have perhaps chosen different cows to keep...). So we have 6 old cows (that, by the way, we got 8 calves out of last year - 2 sets of twins) plus 12 (or is it 13?) heifers. We have 2 bulls (seems excessive for such a small herd, but we haven't gotten around to selling the old bull yet), as well as the 8 calves from last year and 4 steers (neutered males) from the previous year that we plan to slaughter. Did you add those all up? The Bag Lady must have made a mistake somewhere. There are 33 animals on the ranch. Well, 34 now, if we count the newest calf. <BR/>The Bag Lady is a good rancher, eh? Doesn't even know how many critters she has!! Or is really, really bad at math.<BR/>Damn. Now she has to go count them.the Bag Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17434610508260994331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-25480944653825425132008-03-05T10:50:00.000-07:002008-03-05T10:50:00.000-07:00Awwwww!
