Coffee anyone ?

Good afternoon all.
Giving up on getting sleep today. Was going to head up and pick up our sale check but decided I'll just wait until it's mailed this time. Sale isn't over yet anyways. No idea if all of ours have sold yet. Need to doctor a few of the graft calves here in a bit. Trying to keep the overeating scours at bay and pneumonia. It's the oddest year for pneumonia here. It's a persistent pneumonia. One of the jerseys has taken her new calves well now. Now it's just a matter of keeping the littlest one from overeating now that the larger steer is sold. The oldest jersey is allowing the new calves on and off. She's normally a little bit of a challenge so it doesn't surprise me. Just praying I can get them all squared away quickly so I can leave once the trailer is packed again. Need to get home and mow pretty bad. Thankfully so far all the replacement camera's I put up last time to replace the downed ones are still working. Still have a bunch of things listed on CL. No new people have reached out in the last few days. That's ok. I'll bump the listings again as soon as CL allows. Have a couple new things pulled out to measure and take pictures of to list. Just need to get it done. I think this next load home will clear out a lot more. I don't see a lot more loads. Especially if this semi load comes through next month.
Need to go get the milk out of the fridge and get the cream skimmed off to make butter. Y'all have a good afternoon. Praying for all the SoCal folks safety from the fires.

So...WHAT does that mean to you? Barn boots and covered in horse manure?

Way back in the dawn of time... my high-school had a dress up day for the seniors. We were told to dress in the profession we hoped to have when we grew up. I showed up in ratty boots, my work clothes with a big very beat up cowboy hat, and an old leather sheathed machete that was set up to be worn across your back.

One guy came to school with a rifle...

Honestly, I looked like a rodeo queen. I have some patterned jeans, and a shirt and wild rag that match, and I used it as an excuse to wear my straw hat.
I then went around joking that if I wanted to wear what I actually work cows in, it would just be a t-shirt, jeans, and maybe my HeyDudes, because those have seen a few cattle drives. But I did use the dress-up day as an excuse to go out in town after work, and look like a tourist.
Today was America day, and I somehow have a flag button down shirt. It'll be nice to wear normal clothes tomorrow.

@RR Homestead on buying red cows, buy a black bull. The calves will mostly be black. Around here, tiger stripe cows are in huge demand, a cross between a Hereford and gray Brahama. Good mommas, longevity and production, great cows. People breed them to black bulls. Calves are black, bring top dollar. It’s stupid.

On moving your Jerseys, take a 2 gallon pump up sprayer with you. When you stop for fuel, spray the cows with water, that should help them be cool.

runs off to CalFire to see the fire map...

Bay, if you have her physical address, feel free to pm me.

If she's in CHES-01, shes under mandatory evac orders. Altho the fire is quite a bit aways, and as of this morning is 15% contained (I don't know where...), its still prudent of CalFire to make her area mandatory.

Part of her area is in standby mode LFD-0471. This means she's on level 2 evac. Be ready be prepared. Wait for the call.

You see, if we are right about the Hidden Hills, she's in either of these zones.

Oh - just mapped it from the most east southern edge. Again if in Hidden Hills, she is 8 - 12 miles from the edge. Not great, but not horrible.

Ridgetop is in Shadow Hills.
