Our winter has turned mild, cow's on stalks are faring well. Spose the ol gal is saving it for calving time? Everybody else has weather, we used to sneak thru here. Looks like January's gonna treat us alright.
leanin' H said:Mild here too. We've had a few scattered showers, a mix of rain and snow, off and on, but not enough to stack up much. Been in the 40's (F) and supposed to hit the big 50 this weekend. If every January was like this i'd calve now. March will probably be a first class bear to rub salt in the wound when we calve. Almost done lambing. And in another first on our place, My son kept a gilt from his stock showing. We AI'd her and she has a litter of fine looking pigs. Never raised pigs from birth before. It ought'a be an adventure.
Side note- I'm getting old. My daughter is a senior in HS and my son is an eighth grader. How in the heck did that happen? Little H has a scholarship for college this fall. Wants to become an animal nutritionist. Excited for her. Life goes pretty fast folks. Don't blink

That’s a great observation. Of course there are exceptions. My kids seem almost average and I was half of their upbringing. I guess they out kicked their coverage.George said:Most of the time the kids accomplishments are a reflection of their upbringing - - - congratulations to all!
