M & M

Betsy was a fiesty old girl when we put her in last night

so we figured she would be having her calf soon.

I drew the short straw and had barn duty at 2:00 a.m.

I woke up at 1:00 and argued with myself for 25 minutes

before I finally got up and went out.

Little Miss M & M had been born about 5 minutes earlier.

I was back out at 2:15 and 3:15 to make sure she got up and drank.

Luke's pager went off at 4:10.

Paul got up and Luke came home at 5:30.

The three of us went out 

to move Betsy and M&M into the barn 

and let the others out into the pasture.

So now it is 7:54

and after Ben and I go out for another barn check

I am coming it to head to bed.

I don't get barn duty tonight!
