Welcome to Drama Ranch

I have recently become a 'Farmer'. I believe the technical term would be rancher, since we have animals more so than crops. I am learning something new everyday. I also have a lot of unanswered questions. Most of them are acquired by learn as you go techniques. Basically, I have f'ed things up a lot. This is my story of leaving the Burbs for the Farm.

Really? I am very busy!

Another interesting episode this morning on Drama Ranch. I had been patiently waiting for babies all day. I must have made a half dozen trips out to the barn yesterday in the freezing ass cold. At 10:00, I made my last check and then nighty night for me. At 2:00, Dan and I heard knocking on the door. The cows were in the front yard. Every damn one of them. Thankfully, someone stopped(No, the cows didn't knock) and let us know. Those stupid cows were happily snacking on our grass. Dan was such a trooper and said he would go out by himself. Probably had to do with the large amount of whining I was doing. Dan got those cows moving in the right direction. Just a bale or two of hay and they came running. Now, how am I going to get back to sleep? Dan popped his head in the back door and said we have babies, hurry! What? Are you fucking kidding me? Do you have any idea how hard it is to get dressed to go spend hours in the barn when you are half alseep? Oh yeah, and don't forget to hurry. Find thermals. Oh wait, I don't have thermals. Find sweats. Check. I need thick socks. Find my bibs. Check, check. I put on a large sweat shirt and managed to stuff it into my bibs. In cast you can't picture that, let me reassure you, I looked like a fucking tard. Top that off with my muckers and cardhardt. Oh, so hot. I managed to get out to the barn in record time. Four babies were already here. I found a fifth one buried in the straw. We came in around 5:00 this morning. Seven beautiful babies in all! I will try to post pic later today. Stay tuned....
