Loving the herd life
Good morning! Yep, I concur with thewife, it's gray, breezy and expected to shower here today, so not sure what I'll be doing but I don't plan on getting rained on! Maybe I'll run outside and deadhead some perennials before the drops come...I will cry if the darn rose campion spreads anymore as that stuff is SO hard to get rid of. I think I might head to the "city" (Olympia) and see if I can sell some of my used books...I've been on a heavy "stuff" purge lately.

I would be eaiser to convince Hubby we need floppy ears if my Brahma/Hereford would respect the fences better! Hubby caught her trying to bust into the small corral! There's a dozon or so nice round bales lined up on that slab. I have feeling if she gets in there, my freezer will be full of hamburger in not time!
Amy! I've never heard of "darn rose campion", I will have to look that one up!

I think you will have better luck looking them up if you leave the "darn" off.thewife said:
The guy was here to switch vacuum pump motors around. Ours died a little over a week ago and DH checked it out and deemed we needed a different one. OUCH! Luckily we have a good back up pump!
Now I have the milking units all tore apart and it's time to clean hoses and shells and put the new liners in and the rest back together.
I absolutely hate doing this!i feel for you having to buy a new vacum pump.are you changing all your milk hoses an vacum lines.make sure you check the lil black lines on the milkers an change any cracked 1s.an check your claws an make sure they arnt cracked.

Just the motor. That's enough.wynedot55 said:
Just changing liners this round although I will check the other hoses and clean them.

I found another broody hen.
I had been good at gathering the eggs out of that pen just so I would NOT have another broody hen! She is hiding behind a big rock, who looks for eggs behind rocks?
Kitty, we got to buy a new motor for our hay ladder! That was an ouch I could have lived without! Of course if we had not bought it, my hay crew would not have been too happy!
Our other ladder is a 1 man show! You can put a bale on, and be up in the loft to take it off, before it gets there!

the wife,
if you are really wanting to dissuade your broody, you still can. In this whole barn thing we got going here, my birds changed where they were laying-in the rocks too. Found a bunch of broken shells yesterday, so I think the dog got in there
