We're In The Cow Business

Jill and Jake and I have been going to the Cattle Auctions looking for cows to eat the feed the Dairyman failed to chop and feed for us.  Jake and I bought two pairs at Marana Stockyards today.  We hauled them to Grampa's place, branded and vaccinated them and just like that, we're in the cow business.

We've had 8 inches of rain at the farm.  The big pond is FULL!

The spillway lost a little ground.....

Nature's greenery is out in full splendor!

Jake and Maren's Missy loves the pond
 



Missy keeps trying to coax Baylie to swim

Missy might be the better swimmer but Baylie can, apparently, walk on water!

There stands poor Baylie.  Ready to roll but lacking opposable thumbs.

Skinny cows and calves.  Let's get on the green feed and start  packing meat on those carcasses!

Day's end.  Tomorrow maybe a new horse?
