It's fun having little sisters...

What a LONG night! I had a funny conversation with my little sister on FB after we got home from the farm last night! Is she a CITY girl or what? Maybe she needs to visit the farm with me!! :) You would love it Kam! Remember the first time I made you touch RAW hamburger meat? Let's see...your 19...I think it was about 2 yrs. ago when you did that! And now your all grown up and going to college! Boy will you learn a LOT!! Love Ya... ;)

12:19amKamron
Amy??
12:19amAmy
yes
12:20amKamron
it's late
12:20amAmy
what are you still doing up?
12:20amKamron
I'm a little scared to go to bed! haha jk..
12:20amAmy
We just got home from the farm! Had calf problems...
12:20amKamron
aw no fun :(
12:20amAmy
had to get cow...donkey...and bull in
...from quiet a distance I might add
12:20amKamron
haha you still have that donkey?!
yuck.. I'm sorry!
12:21amAmy
bull was upset...donkey was upset...cow wouldn't cooperate
baby calf might die if not fed
12:21amKamron
Wow, what was the deal?
12:21amAmy
donkey is in the corral and headed SOMEWHERE tomorrow!
She wasn't letting the calf suck on her momma
she was kicking the cow in the head!
with her back legs
donkey thought she was the Mom of the calf so she was protecting
her from her own Momma and wouldn't let her suck!
12:22amKamron
oh my goodness!! What a violent little thing!
12:22amAmy
she almost made me cuss tonight!!
12:23amAmy
we had to come back to town and get medicine
and give it to the calf in a bottle to give it some strength
12:23amKamron
aw poor calf
12:23amAmy
and now...we'll just pray tonight that it makes it
through the night
12:23amKamron
awh!
12:24amKamron
Oh no!
12:24amAmy
If that calf dies...it will be all the donkey's fault!!!
we had to put the cow in the head chute and milk her
by hand and try to get the baby to suck
I smell like a giant baby bottle!!!!
12:25amKamron
Eww!!
12:25amAmy
tell me about it!
12:25amKamron
haha!
12:25amAmy
had calf crap on my arm too!!!
12:25amKamron
Oh my gosh.. I would have thrown up
12:25amAmy
I was a REAL farm girl tonight!
almost drove off a cliff too!
quiet an experience
12:26amKamron
I'm a little proud of you.. I would not have
been able to do that. No way?!
12:26amAmy
it's been a while for me!
12:26amKamron
That's scary
12:26amAmy
it was pitch black out there by the time we got them rounded
up to the corral! And not to mention...the bull is completely
black and we had to watch our backs or he would have
charged us and we would have never seen him coming!
12:27amKamron
Wow!! So basically you could have died tonight or
been majorly injured
12:27amAmy
YES MAAM!! (not really)
12:27amKamron
I don't think a calf is worth it! haha
12:27amAmy
well...when you sell them it is!!
12:28amKamron
I would pick my life over money!
12:28amAmy
well, I would too but...Mike had my back
12:28amKamron
Lol
12:29amAmy
I also rode across the field with the calf in the back
of the pick up and me holding her!
I sat on a half eaten salt block...those are sharp!
12:29amKamron
I don't even know what a salt block is! haha..
But it doesn't sound comfortable
12:29amAmy
wish I would have had a camera...it would
have been something fun to blog about!
12:29amKamron
haha! That was my next question.
Have you blogged about it yet?!
12:29amAmy
IT'S A BIG SQUARE BLOCK OF SALT
THAT THE CATTLE LICK ON
12:30amKamron
Sick nasty.
12:31amKamron
Well I'm glad it was you and not me! I think I'll just
live in the city and not have any animals...
besides Rusty (the dog)

(NOTE: Calf made it through the night! Yeah!! We'll see what today brings...)
