I didn't know there was a Feb. thread...........it's convienient when the link for the new thread is at the end of the previous month. Just sayin'........... Green Grin!

It has been just downright ugly here since early January. The SU has 2 cattle waterers that are frozen and will be till the ground thaws. He's had to make 2 large groups of heifers instead of 6 small ones down in the heifer barn so they can utilize the one waterer that is still working. Lucky for all of us that it is in the middle of the groups, and not one on the end.

Leaving in a little bit to go to the venue where we will be milking all next week. NOT looking forward to that job; just hope the guy has made some improvements since last time, or we will not go back there again. And I told the SU that he is NOT working for $10/hr there this time, his rate was gonna go up as nobody should have to deal with what he had to last time for that paltry sum.

Had to work Equity Monday and Wednesday.........Mon. only 82 calves, but Wed. there were 237. Yesterday I was at a different sale barn that only has dairy sale; not too bad, I was there 1 3/4 hr.
