Sunday morning feeding

[Soapweed]

Sunday brunch

Grass will soon be covered up again

Five-fifty-seven with a toothpick

With their backs to the east wind

Snow in the air

One coming late

Cows a-coming

Anxious for their cake

Appaloosa landscape

Clickin' as the come closer

They're close

Caking circle

Thanks, leanin' H. A neighbor wintered about half of our replacement heifers last year. He synchronized and AIed quite a few on the 20th, 21st, and 22nd of May. We also turned bulls out with our other replacement heifers and all of our cows on the 21st of May. The calves will be due to arrive in late February. We usually leave the bulls out for about eighty days, so the cows will calve on into May.

I do have need for a night calver, if anyone would be interested. The man that has done the night calving here the past four years has declared that he is getting too old to be out that late at night. We will greatly miss him, as he has done a wonderful job.

Bet that ol' east wind will bring moisture with it.
