And wow are they nice! Chuck Sandvold delivered his calves today. Most of them are Heat Wave (Yeah, the real thing) and one is a Paddy O'Malley. Even though it stormed here last night and they are wet and muddy they look great. I am excited about getting them settled in and getting started on baths and clip jobs. This is a really deep set of calves.
I also did some ground work on the flashy little Smooth Sailing heifer that Mike Vogt brought this week. She was a little nervous at first but by the end of our session she was letting me slip the halter on and off of her in the pen and I was scratching her legs with my hands. She is going to definitely be a highlight and a knock out market heifer. I really love her freaky front end.
We are happy for the rain we recived last night but Darby (the farm mascot) spent most of the night curled up between Brad and I hiding from the thunder! We are adding electricity to the bunkhouse today so that we can have access for our computer and some lights. If you have visited before you will notice some changes again this year in our "decor". Our friend Dale is building a matching "outhouse" to put under the walnut tree next to the bunkhouse. Calm down, there are no seats inside, its going to house our refrigerator and grilling tools!
Stay tuned!
