I pulled the baby out and tossed him back out of the way and quickly returned to the mother to see how she was. The next thing I heard was the cry of the baby goat we had given up for dead. I am sure the abrupt toss and landing had something to do with it. Really nice photo of you!Michaelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05806716677546687464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432762024762532275.post-2248573029094816652015-06-02T21:07:21.550-04:002015-06-02T21:07:21.550-04:00Thanks for sharing Farm Buddy!

As an example, for one hour most nights, I will watch a free video on Hulu. They have ads for dumb things like tablets and cellphones, and the people in the ads are just about overcome with excitement. I want to tell them, "It is JUST a dumb phone!!" I mean, what is up with that? Phones have been around for a long time, right? Of course, naturally I do not have a cellphone and can barely tolerate having a normal one! My point is, if they get that excited about a phone, imagine if they had BESS! They would probably succumb to heart failure!!! The best smart phone in the world does not measure up to Bess' toenail. Then throw in cute calves, lambs, bobolinks, Luna moths, red efts and all the other zillion of cool things on the farm, and I tell you the rest of the world is just not ready for it!! I will have to leak out dribbles of this magic in guest blogs only!farm buddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02746039869965536774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432762024762532275.post-45524713277907162112015-06-02T12:00:34.373-04:002015-06-02T12:00:34.373-04:00Bess is definitely from the famous litter, and she...Bess is definitely from the famous litter, and she is the pick of the litter!! At least my pick!! Maggie belongs to RB (riding buddy) and also lives nearby. Of course she is also a great pup and actually has very unique eyes that look like they have eyeliner around them. However, Bess is THE BEST!! farm buddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02746039869965536774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432762024762532275.post-54286092031849245972015-06-02T10:57:36.411-04:002015-06-02T10:57:36.411-04:00Great story!

She gave as much milk as a Holstein and as rich as a Guernsey. The cream line came down below the neck of a glass milk bottle.<br />Could this possibly be a "puppy" from the famous litter?? Hate to admit it, but I'm confused between "Bess" and "Maggie."Rebecca2https://www.blogger.com/profile/04672311628641811961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432762024762532275.post-31419703901244360892015-06-02T09:07:41.495-04:002015-06-02T09:07:41.495-04:00Good thing you pressed your case to have the vet g...Good thing you pressed your case to have the vet give little Ruby one last chance!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14685492126157550044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432762024762532275.post-30615754064630044702015-06-02T09:01:11.433-04:002015-06-02T09:01:11.433-04:00Great story FB!!

Because I raised cattle most of my life I have had to deal with lots of odd presentations...one of my favorite birthing was a first calf heifer who delivered twins in a perfect delivery...identical roans that looked just like their mother!Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348495575211204989noreply@blogger.com
