It's been a busy summer and there is always something happening around here....
I took Palin one of our heifers over to my Brother in law's place to get her bred. He called me last Tuesday and told me she had a calf sticking out of her...What? Seems she was bred when she was sold to us! She shouldn't have been as she was way too young. She's not close to being 2 years old yet! The calf was dead and we pulled it. Palin has a pinched nerve and isn't able to walk yet. We brought her home and I am nursing her back to good health. She's actually doing better since we brought her home. She's drinking, eating and everything is functioning except for her back two feet. Vet said it could take up to two weeks to a month! She moves around a lot, which is a good thing. Hopefully not much longer and she'll be standing. Sure wish we had known she was pregnant. We might have been able to save the calf and maybe Palin would be okay right now.
I found this Bordered Patch Butterfly in the feed trailer this morning. It had just come out of its cocoon. Oh so pretty and new.
My Sister (on the right) is celebrating her 56th Birthday today!! Happy Birthday Karen! So many Birthdays today. My Aunt Judy, Cousin Matt and a Friend too....July 25th is a popular day!
