"It helps if people think you are at least a little bit crazy. Then they fear you, and fear is a very powerful tool."

A little web site maintenance done, a couple e-mails to take care of, then I'm out the door to haul up the wood and sweep the chimney.

The cow that had the ceasarian went out for exercise this morning. She seemed a little confused, but not as wild as most. She was pretty calm. That's good, because then I might not have to chase her tonight. She will most likely need some convincing though, to come back in the barn. She's been getting a shot of antibiotics, but that's almost over. Then I still have to keep giving her milk to the calves and dumping the rest out, for at least another seven days. After that, I have to send a sample to the dairy for testing to get the ok to start putting her milk in the bulk tank and selling it with the rest. Antibiotics in milk is a bad thing. If you happen to let some get in there, then you have to buy the whole semi load back from the dairy!
