Nothing exciting today and that is a good thing : )

Good news for today.  We got to the barn last night and the cow that had twins had cold ears, a sign of being low on calcium.  Bruce ran  another bottle under her skin.  She had delivered the first placenta in the morning and we were glad to see that the second one was out by evening.  She is bright and eating well.  Twins are just harder on cows than a single calf but all signs are good.  Both calves are drinking better by tonight.  The bull is breathing harder than he should but we are just watching him for now.  Perhaps he is fighting with fluid from delivery.  All our pneumonia creatures are snapping back. If we manage to diagnose and treat them early its hardly a stumble for them.  Last night should have been an official date night for us but we could see my mid afternoon we weren't going to make it to our night out playing cards with friends.  It was another late night but we managed to get a couple hour nap today.  Bruce's back is feeling the abuse from yesterdays events so we took it relatively easy today.  Bruce did manage to dig our calf hutches out of the snow with the skid steer and get them bedded.  We had a blizzard in Dec. that buried them and until this point we didn't need them.  We were wishing we had a video camera tonight to record the goat kids.  Watching them you would swear they are on something.  Totally hilarious!  Tonight we were both in by 10!!!
