One Week Down

Today was the busiest day that we've had since I've been here. The morning started with Summer, Isaiah, and myself putting up fences near the cattle shack for the ladies that used to be in 33 to move over into. It went pretty quickly. TJ commented that our fence line looked like we were knocking down a few beers while we worked on it, but hey - it got done. After we went through and checked the electricity on all the fences we moved the cows across the street and into their temporary home. 

We then checked a few cows. N7 (the one-eyed bandit) looked a lot better today. Where her eye was all clouded over is almost totally clear so she didn't need an eye patch and we just treated her with sulfur. S25, the mom from yesterday, is looking better. We're hoping the swelling that's pinching her nerve will go down and she will go back to walking completely normally again. The other infection gals are starting to look better. Temps are getting down and their uterus' are almost all cleaned out. One cow has an e-coli infection (I don't know how to say the technical term) in her uterus and a sore foot so she's being treated for that as well. 

After lunch we moved all the divas from field 63 to the 5 acres area. They will be checked at vet check tomorrow along with all the other gals that we moved. 

I finally got to do something horticultury today! We planted a pear orchard in back of the shop. Scott drilled holes with the skid steer and we came behind him and planted 250 trees. I have to say; I am not a fan of bare root trees. They're no fun to plant. Hopefully they'll get watered in tomorrow and I'll get to see them finally flesh out some leaves.
