Green is such a pretty color, and the red highlights are just frosting on the cake. Thanks for reminding us what green grass looks like. With our big weekend weather event, we accumulated 15/100ths of an inch of rain. It did settle the dust. :)

15/100ths is what we call the morning ' dew' around these parts!!!

I'm not sure that any guage in this part of Ga will even measure that low since we measure water fall in inches and feet....no in between! :lol:


Now there is a new ' tourist' tag for us....we're the Appalachain Rain Forest now, since we get about 72" or there abouts a year!

If a person is drowning in the ocean, you hope someone throws you a big stout rope. If someone throws you a piece of twine instead, you grab for it anyway. :wink: That is the way of our 15/100ths of an inch of rain. It beats the heck out of nothing. :)

While at the feed store the other day, the lady at the counter pointed out a new rain guage they'd gotten in. It also measured in 100ths, had a wind meter on it to tell how fast the wind's blowin, and had a guage you could add up your rain. I may go back in and get one, to put here at the house. My guage is down at the cattle guard, and "someone" keeps empty'n it before I can see how much is in there. (Thunder, lightenin and rain all night, wake up head to the cattle guard, rain guage is empty... hmmmm) LOL

I'm a little disappointed. I figured Texan to be a black man. :lol: Nice picture. A little green here but not much to sustain it. What's been run through the cow is even coming out brown.

Guys that have too many set of twins in our area didn't brag about it. :wink: :wink: :D
:lol2: Actually, those weren't twins, but they sure did look like it. That first calf heifer was just the victim of bad luck and bad timing. A couple of hours before she calved, I had found a wet calf running around in with my cowherd, bawling and looking for somebody to lick him. I finally found a cow dead from a uterine prolapse.

I went back to the heifer trap to check this heifer before I did anything with the calf, because she had been up and down for a couple of hours. I finally got to see a foot - upside down. By the time I got her to the chute to pull her backwards calf, I had a plan in mind for her that I knew she wasn't gonna like... :lol:

By the looks of her nursing 2 calves, it looks like your plan for her didn't bother her one bit....unless it took you a week or so to make her take both... :lol:

More pics!

It was really pretty easy, Hanta. It took about 30 minutes for it to be a done deal. Of course, she was kinda confused, anyway. And with all of the crud she left in my chute, I was able to wrap up the graft calf in a nice little bow for her. That always makes it easier. She was really a pleasure to work with.

I'll see what I can do about some more pics. :wink:
