Another Fuzzy

Well we had another Fuzzy calf and again it is a bull and this one was black/white. I don't have a picture of him because we went up to clean the barn and wasn't expecting to find a calf. The man who buys our bull calves must be getting close to maxed out and I don't know what I will do with them when he is. I hate to send them to the auction because some people told me they have gotten a bill from that. We have not yet but you just don't get much from them from the auction these days. You know I always think too that a person will spend up to $500 on a puppy that will be just a pet ( don't get me wrong I love my dog) but don't want to give anything for a bull calf that will eventually fill the freezer or breed a lot of your cows). Go figure. I do hope that we can continue to find someone who wants to buy them directly from us so we won't have to send them because soon I will have bull calves in every corner of the barn. Out of our last7 calves only 2 were heifers.

It was another beautiful sunny day and we had someone working on the plumbing so we did not have water in the house today so this was a good day to get the scrubbing done in the milk house. It was funny, I like to use bleach when I am cleaning the milk house and my husband didn't know I was out there doing it( he was in the cellar helping with the plumbing) so I came in just as they were testing the water and they both were worried because that couldn't figure out why it smelled like bleach since they hadn't used any. They were relieved to find out it was me. Thank goodness the plumbing went quite well and the water is back on. The time we were changing the sink in the bathroom because this is an old farmhouse every time I turned around they were sending me to the hardware store for more parts. The house is about a hundred years old and I think the plumbing is too. The guys at the store were getting quite a kick out of all the trips I was making and they lasted 2 days. I was putting in my lunch requests cause as much time and money I was spending there I figured I ought to get a lunch break.

Tomorrow another sunny day predicted, can't wait. If only it wasn't so mushy out so I could clean out the chicken coop. Maybe soon - I hope!
