Christmas Eve On The Farm

Taking care of the animals doesn’t stop just because it is a holiday.  Joe said he hasn’t had a day off in the winter for the last 25 years.  

Today was no different.  There were calves to be fed.

But the view and the sky were beautiful, the weather was nice and the ground was dry.

The calves that were weaned last week have been getting sick.  We have treated 13 so far.  I went with Joe to check them before church in case he needed help getting any more up to treat.  But after examining them he thought they were all looking better.  Hopefully, there won’t be anymore getting sick. 

 But there was a sick goat.  I noticed her yesterday.  Joe was able to catch her today and carried her to the barn.  She looks like another worm issue.  She wasn’t too pale so maybe she will bounce back quickly.  

Merry Christmas Eve
