April 26th, 2012

Started today off with Katie staying home this morning to feed calves so that I could help get cows ready for classifying. The classifier showed up early, so we didn't get to have any "ready". I did ask him if dairies of our size, (100 cows), usually have them prepped and pretty, or if our set-up is normal. He said no one has time anymore to clip and prep the cows, ours was normal.

When I got home Katie was showering, to go to school. 30 minutes later she didn't look so good, said she was dizzy, and felt warm to my touch. Temp was only 99, but normal for her and myself, is 97.7. She ended up staying home and slept half the day away.

Photo of our ornamental apple tree outside the house. This is an "odd" year, and only the one branch has lots of blossoms. On even years the rest of the tree is covered and this branch has only a few. Weird!

I gave Shorty a ride to town, so he could meet up with the rest of the FFA Dairy and Livestock Judging Teams to go to Madison for the State Competition. Wishing them the best of luck tomorrow!

Katie and I fed calves, fed Aisa, and watered the horses, here are some random pics...

 Hunter is always ready for an escaping calf!

Katie feeding the baby that I assisted with yesterday.




The barn cats, hanging around waiting for some food and love!


A random photo of Snickers curled up in the straw. However, when I uploaded it PSE wanted to know who was the face....The end of the calf dryer!



 We have decided on Kraft Mac n Cheese for supper, then I think bed sounds good....I get the WHOLE thing to myself tonight!
