<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Well....today i slept till noon, because my allergies have been horrible lately and I've been taking Robitussin Congestion night time :) anyways, as i woke up, Grant came home from the barn, and came into the bedroom. He proceeded to give me hell of course for sleeping so late, and then he said "there's a cow in the pasture that's got a dead calf we need to pull." i was still half asleep and said oh lord ok. so Grant went to bring her up out of the pasture and then we loaded her up into the trailer and brought her to some other working yards near the house. We left her there for the afternoon because we had 2 more horses at the barn that needed to be worked on cows, and she just needed to lay down and rest. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">We returned home from the barn, and it was time to get to work because we had little daylight left! We headed out to the working yards and were ready to get it done. we finally got her into the shoot (well half way at least). she was not a happy momma. Just 2 hooves and the nose were out of the cow. Grant hooked up the chain around the calves feet and started pulling. Momma started groaning and trying to push but this baby was not budging. So we had to hook up this old school rig that hooks a cable to the chain and has a handle that you crank and it cranks alright. The calf came out a liiiiiitle more but got stuck in the mommas hips. At this point, DL had arrived and we another set of hands. Both guys were pulling on the chain and this baby was not moving at all. At this point, we decided we needed to let her out of the shoot so she could lay down because at this point the calf was hangin out halfway and stuck. She wobbled on over to the water trough and then layed down. Grant went and layed on her and she got up and fought. A couple minutes later, she was back down. Grant layed back on her, and she had nothing left in her to fight. DL hooked up the crank. After a long while of cranking, the baby finally budged a little more. Usually dead calves that are stuck are not this difficult. He was stuck so bad that all the pulling tore one of its legs loose :( We didnt want to cut the baby out though. So after one more long hard pull, out the baby came. it was a biiiiiiiiiig baby. Momma just layed there making a pitiful moaning noise. All 3 of us, just stepped back and stood there for about 10 minutes in silence just staring. All the "having a baby juices" as i call them, were gushing out, and there was a loooooot of it. We kinda propped the momma up, but then just left her. We left the baby as well, because she needed a reason to get up. If you leave the baby, she will get up (if not paralysed) to clean the baby, even though its dead. Other wise she will just lay there and die. We will check on her in the morning and see if she survived. I now will add another calf to my dead animal list........</span></div>

All the babies are growing up, and all the fresh green has gone. This years drought has been a record, and we deffinatly can feel it here at the Barron Downs. We FINALLY got 4 inches of rain last weekend, and its amazing what water can do. Just a few weeks ago if you looked around it looked like dead winter. Now after just a little rain, it looks like spring......in late August :) We are thankful for the rain to fill our tanks up a little and such, but we sure are ready for the cool down of fall.<br />

This spring I have discovered an obsession/ passion for flowers. I have been reading book after book on any flower you can imagine! Every Thursday when I get off work at 2 I had to the flea market and buy new flowers. I try to just get a little each time. I after mannnyyyy trips, I have finally run out of flower beds and pots! Now what? Make more beds! :) oh I also have bought 2 new 15 gallon crepe mertyls! <br />The prickly pear cactus are also in full bloom!! It amazes my mind that such an ugly painful and annoying plant can make such a pretty flower and so many of them! This year I may try to make a prickly pear jam! <br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/05/04/3343.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/05/04/s_3343.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Did you know there is a wild flower perennial version of verbenas?

OOPS!! he was fine dont worry! but it bled so much u woulda though ti cut off his finger lol!as usual, there were a few kicks and run overs by the calves and many many bouts of laughter. grant, me, wade, and john were horse back to gather the cows 1st, so thats always an interesting task haha! this 1st rounf of working calves turned out great and i cant wait for the next one!!</span><br />

(where is grant you? aaaasleep! very hard sleeper that boy!) the kennals are too far out that my flashlight wouldnt reach that far to see what was going on, but i could hear the tin roof on their kennals was flopping around loose. this happened last week when it was superrrrr windy as well. so i go to grant and say hey baby, i think one of your dogs is out, the roof is loose and one is howling, i think something is wrong. he was noooot very excited but got out of bed, put on all his winter gear and went outside. i of course went back to bed, had to keep it warm ya know ;) so finally at about 4:15 grant comes back inside and said yup, tiny was out, you were right, he jumped out the top, and hung his leg up. i responded quickly with an oh nooooo i should have got up earlier is he ok?! grant ended up putting them in the barn in a stall with saddle blankets and heat lamps. thats the most lush living they've ever had! lol. thye better not get used to it! summer will be here soon enough! anyways, we didnt take tiny to the vet, we just doctor it ourselves. it will heal sooner than later and it will just be added onto his list of scars on his legs! he has many! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Lyck5QdEk0M/TVMG5wtRbeI/AAAAAAAAAFc/xgKWVOGVSbA/s1600/IMG_0213.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Lyck5QdEk0M/TVMG5wtRbeI/AAAAAAAAAFc/xgKWVOGVSbA/s320/IMG_0213.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

BRR! the gas company was supposed to come monday but they never did, therefor leaving us freezing cold on this "SNOW DAY!" that everyone was so excited about. then, to top it off, our small amount of firewood we had cut to get us through the morning was frozen into one block! GR! well u say, why dont u go cut more? the chainsaw was broken at the time!!! so i( kelli) spent tuesday until late afternoon, sitting on the floor infront of my little space heater. i was in such a baking mood, but there was no way i was going into that big freezing kitchen. we got gas that evening and cranked the heater. tuesday we woke to all animal water troughs frozen solid. usually its just the top layer and u can break it and they have water. nope. not this time. we had to get a propane tank and a torch. after about an hour and a half of torching the pipes, still no water. so we had to get the water hose out of the yard, put it in the bathtub with hot water for about 30 minutes. then grant torched on of the house focets and we hooked it up to that and filled about 30 buckets of water for the cows. sooooo i spent allllll day tuesday outdoors with my husband trying to get water to 300 head of cattle. what a job. </span><br />

Here are some before and after pictures! keep in mind we still have lots to do!! it still needs lots of TLC :)</span><br />
