Headgate!






So momma's due to calf any day now. I broke down and bought a headgate , since i may need it for delivery. Also this spring i will need it to give shots and pills. I am also in the process of expanding the barn and installing the headgate. Lately i have started fencing in more pasture for expansion of our herd. My neighbor had a chance to cut me some lumber on his mill. He was very busy and fianally got a break so i asked him to cut some for the barn. It.s spruce and hemlock and will look nice when it ages!

So beautiful !






We had a snowfall while we were sleeping. I woke up to 2 inches of heavy , wet snow. What was so beautiful was it stuck to everything, then about an hour later, the sun came over the mountain. I have never seen such an awesome sight , everything was glistening, wow! Were still waiting for Momma to calf , my friends think she was bred late , so it could be another month. Odee's growing fast and is making a wonderful pet, well all but him waking up at 4:30am , i hope he grows out of that habit ! I bought more tee posts to fence in more of our pasture cause were gonna buy another cow for calving. That's about it for now.
