Entry: WOW. Friday, July 16, 2004



WOW! This morning has been a long one, and now its 4:30! geez time goes by so fast, anyway this morning started out by me feeding all the animals and then around 11 am me and my uncle kenton left go to to Oakdale, we gave a goat to some people (it was a pig goat and very mean) and then we went to the oakdale house and trimmed some trees and then left and went and got my cows...now here's where the real story begins.......

well we get there and it turns out that the cows (actually steers) im getting are only 3-4 days old. we thought they were going to be about 10 days old. I only wanted 6 but got 7 because i got a free one because his left front hoof is clubbed, which just means its turned under and little bit, but none the less a minor defect. and $300 later, we went to Escalon feed and supply and got my calf milk replacement then $100 later, we were on our way home. once we got home we had to spread the straw we bought down in the stalls where they were going to be. then we started unloading them, it turns out that the one with the defect walks the best!, then there was this one black one that we had to carry out of the trailer and we decided to give him a bottle of milk, becausae he was dehydrated. So i sat there and bottle fed him for about 15 minutes and then we picked him up again and carried him to his own specail stall that way we can keep a close eye on him.

Anyway they are sooo small!! lol, tonight im going to try to upload some pictures onto the computer so if you want me to send you some of them, leave a comment and tell me who you are or your email address!

Wish me luck with all of them!! I hope they all live!
