Terrible Weather and New Graft

This weather has been crazy.  Frost, freeze, snow, sleet, 70's, 20's, confusing. 

 You can't hide your tracts after walking though the grass after a hard frost.  Looks like it sort of killed the grass. 

 That's a snow storm on the mountains that we had yesterday.   Then it got down into the 20's last night.

It has left the peonies very stressed.  I have never seen them this bad off.  I really hope they can pull back out of it. 

 Luckily, no new goats were born.  Did I mention we had 2 inches of rain in 10 hours too as the temperature dropped from 70's to 30's.

 We still aren't sure if this graft is working all that well, but the calf is aggressive enough to get his meals while the heifer is eating.

 Then we had a dead calf.  This was a second calf heifer and we had a twin that we have been bottle feeding for a few days.  Since she was at the other farm, we hooked up the trailer to bring her to the barn, thinking it would be easier to work with her closer to the house.   She followed the calf right up onto the trailer. 

 Back at the house, J trimmed a piece of hide off of the dead one,

 and tied it to the twin. 

 The heifer wasn't too sure at first,

 so we put her in the chute for the first meal.

 This morning, success,  the heifer had accepted the twin, we took off the hide, turned them out into the barn lot and everyone was happy.
