I'll get right to the point: no calf today. She looks more than ready, and her udder is full and sagging and sways a lot when whe walks (waddles). But nothing...
The hogs are doing well and have totally adjusted to eating out of the flap feeder - you can hear the flaps smacking around all day. They're too cute.
As are the chicks - they're big enough to stand on their legs (that look like chicken legs) and their feathers have really come in. We turned off the heat lamp and left the top section of the door open as they looked warm.
We watered the gardens (still not the corn/bean patch) and things looked well. While I was at fire fighter training, Nancy spied this new potato plant pushing up.
We spent three hours this evening undergoing recertification training for CPR, AED use, and choking intervention techniques. It was some GREAT training, but made for a long night.
Tomorrow we'll mow the lawn and I want to build a small 2x6-foot raised bed for the rhubarb plants. Until next time, take care of each other.
