Yeah!!!! I have vacation time next month!!!! From the 17th to the 21st! Going to take DD down to Billings. Hope to meet up with Azriel about some pullets! Been busy at work until Thursday. I was stocking some stuff and something in my lower back cut loose. Thought I had slipped it out of...

Started the 4 letter "S" word last night. We got around 3 inches. Our twin bull calf, Butterfinger, showed up at the barn without his graft mom so he is in the barn with a warm bed of straw and grass. Got a bottle of warm milk replacer in his belly too. Now to wait for my milk cow to calve and...

Cold as blazes up here Azriel. Broke a low temp record. Looked like most of the snow went south of us but we got enough to cover the winter wheat.

Ok I admit it! I could not stand it! Went into Fleet Supply today for 2 truck batteries and ended up leaving with both baby turkey and chickens! Then I ended up at Big R for something else and left with more baby chicks! First step is to admit I am a chicken addict! I am waiting for the...

RoyalT we always fed our rabbits Phaas (?) rabbit feed. Really bright green. I also insulated my coop. Have had days that were -30. That way the heat from the heat lamps helps keep it warmer.

My birds go nuts for the West Feeds layer pellets. They don't really care for the stuff from Big R. I only get that when I am out and desperate.

Tell me about it Rene! That stuff is EVERYWHERE! Including our bed! So funny though watching them jump into the box and attack the peanuts.

Oookkk! I am sitting here and my DS's cat comes over and sits next to me, I look at her and there is all this stuff over her! Then out comes our other cat with the same stuff right on top of his head. These 2 nut cases were playing in a box of those packing peanuts. That stuff is all over the...

Ok this was too funny! Was at work yesterday and was asked about the "wild" chickens in my area. Huh? Turns out the BLM ranger I know found them at a boat ramp. Sounds like a couple near me are going to round them up.

Gotta set up my live trap. Just missed getting 2 raccoons tonight! They hit the ditch before I hit them with my truck. They play havoc on my eggs and birds. Yes Rene we are pretty close. I am outside Fort Benton.

Rene I have a standard bronze hen and a bronze tom and a narggensant tom. They free range so I will have to watch to see where she will lay her eggs. The hi-line is where Highway 2 runs from eastern MT to western MT.

Holy Buckets! That was a mistake last night! Went to the barn and DH hadn't bothered to tell me what was there waiting. Found 1 new born calf in the bottom of the coulee below the house. Went to the barn for the sled and found a set of twins in one pen, a nice little heifer out of my cow in...

It cleared off after awhile, but that north wind is COLD! Gotta go check cows not looking forward to it. LOL!

Anybody else fogged in this morning?

Thanks Karla! Been pretty busy between the job in town and now we are calving so busy here at home too! Must admit it was pretty nice to not have to go to work for 2 days in a row. Haven't had that in a long time. Gotta be honest most I did yesterday was read a book and catch up on some...

Sucks when you have to put one of your animals down Azriel. I had to put my Morgan gelding down a couple weeks ago. I know it was for the best but it still broke my heart. I know fences are always needing to be done. Pretty nice up here right now. Hard to believe it snowed on Monday. What type...

Let them roll in the dirt! MIL told me about their dog years ago getting sprayed. Said the dog just rolleed for the longest time outside and that got rid of the skunk smell. I paniced for 5 seconds this morning. Thought I was going to be late for work then realized I was off today! LOL...

Wind has been howling up here all day. Snow started after dark and we have a raging blizzard going on. Good night to stay inside and stay warm. Got a cat refusing to leave my lap and the dogs are refusing to go outside. Got 3 eggs today!!!! It was a race to beat the barn cats to them though.

Nice birds on here!!!! Now I am getting chick fever again!! Got friends asking me to raise cornish cross eating birds. They want the free ranged birds I raise. Thinking about it if I can use the old rabbit house I could put some chicks in there, but DH wants to store all the garden stuff in there.

Heard today we got the snow but west of us they barely got anything. Got between 6-8 inches of snow. Azriel reminds me of a story I was told years ago. A new TV reporter for one of the Billings channels had just moved here. During her first winter it snowed pretty good. The road crews plowed the...
