We had a heifer who calved out in the freestall and yes of course it was a heifer and we do not like them to come in contact with any manure matter, well it's face was covered with manure and the heifer is a b t h and boys she hard to get in the parlour and she won't let you put the milker on her ahh it will come.next we had a good day we got the gravel knoll done up in hay and the little swamp by the lower barn done it was not bad hay also we did the meadow up in silage it was good stuff ran into a problem when the wheel bolts came of and the wheel fell of and wagon is now full sunk into the ground and of course this leaves Bruce with a project for Friday .Well our front end loader cannot lift it so he has to get excavator down, took hub of that wagon got hub of another wagon and we are back in business and can get wagon of the field and the neighbours can relax. Next day is Bruce,Tan Tan ,jesse, and Bruces sister Shelia big ms bike tour 122 kms in 2 days.
