Our girls free range but we penned them up this morning
so we could catch 'em to shave udders which they
don't like having done.

Disbudding just takes a couple of minutes,
then the kid is right back to playing.

Valentine Breakfast

Mike has to go to work this afternoon. Presently, 18 degrees and going to snow all day. Hopefully this hardy breakfast will get him through the day.

Its cold here in the Appalachian Mountains and we're always trying to warm our feet.

We haven't been anywhere since Thursday, I love it.  I don't get cabin fever, I get civilization fever.

Up at the barn, where am I going to sit?

First day out since Thursday.

Can you tell ChiliPepper is the mother to ChiliBean?

I'll do whatever I can to keep her feeling good.  She is so very dear to me.

Having fun in the snow.
