Today

This week is the beginning of doing the things that have been put off to another day. Got a real shearer to come out and start on the billies. We got 10 adult and 3 kids shorn, hooves trimmed, deloused, banded the ones that weren't going to make breeding stock and vaccinated them. Adult billies have strong thick necks and will take a toll on you wrestling them around, so it is hard to get very many done in one day. They are a little shivery tonight but I bedded the barn down with wheat straw and they have all the hay they can eat and a cup of grain, they are in good shape and can stand the change in temperature as long as they have good shelter and staying full. Hope this front moves out fast and the sun returns. I'm whooped, going to eat vegetable soup from the freezer with hot cornbread, hit the shower and go to bed. Some good news, KeeKee can get up on her back legs and move around a bit if I put her grain bowl on the other side of her pen.
