It makes you appreciate things like cabbages and tomatoes more. They always sit still and behave themselves nicely. <br> JamesJameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/6716623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994967819405801133.post-46995167116022280402005-12-01T17:13:00.000-05:002005-12-01T17:13:00.000-05:00Hi James,I'm glad it brought you a chuckle...p...Hi James,<br>I'm glad it brought you a chuckle...perhaps in a week or so I might be able to laugh about it...right now...I'm cleaning the gun!TNfarmgirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12502978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994967819405801133.post-25969942704679648482005-12-02T03:19:00.000-05:002005-12-02T03:19:00.000-05:00I feel your pain!The only thing worse than chasing...I feel your pain!<br><br>The only thing worse than chasing cows with kids is chasing them with adults from town!reformed farmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/4825861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994967819405801133.post-60111669920774830992005-12-03T14:34:00.000-05:002005-12-03T14:34:00.000-05:00I am totally astounded. We had a Liz cow. I have...I am totally astounded. We had a Liz cow. I have written about her. We called her psycho cow. We also had a Grace, of course. We have had many many days like this. In fact, if our own cows aren't out then the neighbors come to the farm for a visit. We had quite an interesting day trying to load up an angus heifer and then trying to find out who she belonged to. Once whe had a white horse walk upon the place. Talk about fun. The kids loved it. They did NOT want to do SAXON math. <br><br>Here is what we did. We sold psycho cow. We sold the moron cow-Grace too. <br><br>We still have psycho cows daughter named Lindsey. She honors her mother's memory well. Even takes it a bit further to the extreme. She spent her whole first lactation being contrary. She was the first cow we had who totally refused her calf. It never nursed. Then she proceeded to not let us milk her. She had to be restrained with one of those hip kickers. Then she even found a way to get around that. We had to tie her legs for the milking event until mid way through the lactation. <br><br>The next year she was a completely different cow. She adored her calf and let Brian milk her without a kicker. But, If I milk I have to use a kicker on her. It took a whole lactation for her to calm down. The first year she was such a poor producer too. She gave a half gallon each milking. <br><br>Brian and I talked of selling her this go around. That's the key, start making threats about hamburger and finding a new home. She is now an awesome producer and gives 3.5 gallons per milking. <br><br>This was a hilarious post. Perhaps because I have done this so many times. It hasn't happened in a couple of years though. They save it for me when I am very very pregnant.KS Milkmaidhttp://www.fullerfamilyfarms.com/topics/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994967819405801133.post-46498002738797839062005-12-06T15:35:00.000-05:002005-12-06T15:35:00.000-05:00I found it funny reading your blog today.
