Dan called today (Sept. 23, 2009) to report that we've had our first calves of the season. 2026 (on Sat. the 19th) and "O" (on Tues. the the 22nd) both had baby calves. Mother and baby doing fine. 2 of Dan's cows also had calves. I had gotten and early report of calves on the ground from Julie last weekend, but now it's confirmed-they belong to Triple N.
Dan says it continues to rain and the hay meadows look great.
Dan is going to take our 3 heifers for Bangs vaccination soon. If it stops raining he'll also have them dehorned. (For you uninitiates, you can cut off their horns when there's risk of rain, 'cause the hole in their heads will fill up with water, causing serious infection. Since we don't want to have to turn these heifers upside down to drain the water out, we'll wait on the dehorning 'til there's a stretch of dry weather. So, likely we won't have to wait long.
By the way, I think "First of the New Calves" would be a great name for The Berliners first CD.
Just heard, again, that Willis Ramsey will be releasing a new CD "before the end of the year". For sure, this time. It will be called "Gentilly" . Report on KGSR says he's serious this time, as he's signed with an agent.

In paragraph on dehorning heifers that should say "you can't" cut their horns off when there's a risk of rain.
I regret the error.
