Theodore and Amos

Gotta love the shed cameras!

Thursday night at 9:30 I checked the cameras from bed.

And then I got Ben and Elsie up.

Alyeska had her calf and decided she wasn't interested.

It took quite a bit of convincing

and Ben reminded her 

that we have appointments already made at A & M in 10 days 

and he is willing to substitute her for one of the steers.

She finally agreed to do her part.

But she's not super happy about it.

 Accelerator wanted to cuddle up with Elsie 

after she helped him get lunch on Friday.

During chore time Friday,

while it was 31* and 25 mph winds and snow flurries,

we discovered that Polly had just had her calf, Sprite.

*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*

Then the exciting one!

I checked the cameras at 1:15 Saturday morning.

It took me a bit to decide for sure and then Paul confirmed it,

so I got Ben and Elsie again.

Zelda had just had twins!

She was very confused and didn't want both of them.

Ben got one on her

while I sprinkled corn on the other one 

to convince Zelda to pay attention to him.

Zelda was not sure at all about the whole deal.

Elsie gave one of them a bottle

while Ben got the other one on Zelda.

At 2:45 a.m. they made one more effort to get both calves on 

before we headed back in 

for showers and a few more hours of sleep.

.....Announcing.....

How I love the cameras

and just being able to roll over in bed

to look at my phone 

and see that everything is ok

Calving

Just for Fun Again

There's really no special reason for this post

except that I like these photos

and felt like posting them!

I looked out one night during supper 

and saw the sun on the gate.

Shonna gave me a mirror to play with.

I was the gate-getter while

Paul was feeding bales,

so I played.

This mirror thing is a lot of fun!

The cattle were somewhat confused

as to just what I was doing out there.

Jack took me out to the woods to check the deer cameras.

This one was taken by Jack at Larry's.

Playing

I have so many ideas to try. 

Once in awhile I just must play for a bit.

It's just so much fun!
