Sad Day

Today was kind of a bummer of a day. 

We started the morning by going out to fence a field, but didn't get very far. Marco called us up to 5 acres to birth a cow. Unfortunately, the calf was way too big and it took us almost an hour to get him out. He was dead before he was even born. He was just to big, and coming out backwards so his hips caught on his mothers. He pinched a nerve in her back and she had trouble walking afterwards at first but hopefully she'll get better. 

Then Summer and I fenced in a huge field. Fencing is hard. My arms are in so much pain!

After lunch we planted trees in yucky clay soil so it was slowwwwwww going. I'm excited to move cows tomorrow. Hopefully we'll see how that goes. 

Here's a picture of the ladies watching me plant trees.
