Living on a working cattle farm you have to learn the word FLEXIBLE or you would probably go crazy!
Yesterday morning, Sunday, I had this big breakfast planned, bacon, french toast and scrambled eggs. Bacon was frying, french toast was on the griddle eggs were scrambling. Then Boy 2 comes in and says dad needs help now! I turned off eggs and went running along with Boy1. Princess put the bacon and french toast in microwave. Had to get a Shorthorn Plus Cow in to be checked and she was not wanting to go. After a brief run in with a Hereford recip., Me and her eye to eye...I ran one way she went wrong way...Hubby not happy, but we did get the Shorthorn Plus in. Hubby gets her in and puts halter on her, lead her in the working chute and guess what...1 leg and body, yep it is backwards, but with one leg behind her and another leg curled up under her. Hubby decides, there possibly are two and he needs the vets help.
Call vet, take cow out of chute, go inside to cold bacon, lukewarm french toast and warm mushy eggs. We ate and pile everything in the sink, should have ran water in pan that cooked the eggs.
We love our vets! Vets are doctors to animals, Boy 1 wants to be one, this momma is so happy about that, now if only one can be a plumber, a mechanic and an electrician we would be well rounded, off subject...., After about 45 minutes late we have twin girls, they were nose to nose inside the cow. More unwanted news, cow has no milk, have to bottle the cuties for at least 24 hours every 4 hours.
Here is Hubby and the backwards sister!
Hubby and the second sister!
This is what the kids look like when dad yells, come now!
Thank You Lord for a beatiful day and 4 healthy kids and two healthy new calves and a momma cow that came into her milk sometime in the middle of the night!
So how was your Sunday?
Have A Great Day:)
