Ouch!

Today was busy again with the normal stuff.  Bruce got the feed box filled and also bedded the heifers at Ed's with corn fodder stacks.  He fixed the spreader that had a chain jump off the sprocket when Ed was using it yesterday.  He dug around in the steer yard at the ice that Ed couldn't get loose in hopes of getting it all cleaned out soon.  The frost is going out of the ground so we will be done spreading until the ground firms up again. While Bruce was feeding tonight we had a heifer calf arrive.  Thankfully she is a much better drinker than the last one.  She would have starved to death in the wild.  We tested milk again tonight.  Our highest cow is giving 125# per day or approximately 15 gallons! The bill came today for the pump repair.  $1365....OUCH!  Guess we need to keep milking cows.
