Day 12 of Calving--- Mama Kari's 50th Birthday!

Foggy Foggy Morning,
Yesterday the clutch went out in the work truck so last night late Daniel & I ran the work truck to the shop and got groceries for the week. Up to $1400 in food so far! Didn't get home until 11:30, and opted to not unload the truck til this morning.

Daniel pulled the record calf this morning 114 pound calf at 4 am.

Took Cinch to school today, had a good day at school and got a prize.

Came home and was able to go out and see calves- help graft 2 babies on new mama's so wonderful to breath fresh air!

It would of been Mama Kari's 50th Birthday today -- a sad/long/hard but HAPPY day to remember her and all she did for us and is still doing for us!

Meals today
Breakfast
Waffles or Cereal

Lunch
Taco Salads with sugar cookie

Dinner
Leftover Buffet with leftover apple cobbler

Holy moly that's a huge calf, poor mama. I can only imagine. We have never pulled one that big before. She'll probably not want to be bred back to after that experience.
