Cattle go to Town...
This was a very wet, long winter.
A few of the mother cows have long feet
that need to be trimmed.
We hauled them to town to the vet school...
Dr. Joe and the vet students
took good care of our cattle.
You can watch the hoof trimming
in the video below:

Trail Camera.....Bottle Calves
Bottle Babies
The bottle calves are doing quite well.
They drink a 3 pint bottle of milk 3 x daily.
I have offered them hay and grain.
The red grain box is always empty?
I wanted to see who was eating all of the grain?
I thought maybe the barn swallows
were eating it?
Maybe our chickens were eating it?

We set up the trail camera in the calf pen
to see who was eating the grain...

It looks like Number 25
is eating most of the grain.

Whole Cloth....Progress
Earlier this month I completed the
design work on paper
for my next whole cloth quilt...
Layer 1.....Basic Design Lines
Layer 2.....Larger Motifs
Layer 3....Fill Work
36 inch square quilt size
You are looking through all 3 layers
of the design on paper.
The border feathers on this design are
very large.
I decided to baste up a practice sandwich
so I could practice stitching out
very large feathers...
After the feather work,
I decided to finish off the sandwich with some
background fills...
I used this grid stencil to chalk out
the lines for the right side of the sandwich...
Then I stitched a double wedding ring design
within the straight line grid work.
I chalked out a clam shell stencil
for the left side of the sandwich...
I stitched 2 little eyelashes on the inside
of each clam shell shape.
It was good feather stitching practice
as well as background fill work FUN!
I may turn this into a tote bag or
tablerunner?
Yesterday I transferred the design lines
from the paper onto the satin fabric
using a light box and blue water erase pen:
I only need the main design lines
traced onto fabric.
The remainder of the design is
free motion stitching.
This is now basted into a
36 inch square quilting sandwich
and is ready to go under the needle.

I will take photos and share my progress
as I machine quilt this whole cloth quilt.
More To Come!

Surprise.....another set of Twins
We can go for years and never have a set of
TWINS...
TWINS...
Yesterday we had our third set of twin calves.
Their mother is a 1st time heifer...
heifers rarely make much milk.....sigh.
We have them sorted off into a smaller pasture
so we can keep an eye on them for a few days
to be sure the heifer is caring for them.
The goats peeked around the corner of the barn
to see what all the commotion was about
while we were sorting off the new twins.
We have 5 heifers left to calve.
Then we can put this calving season to rest.
I captured a video of the heifer
and her first calf...
and her first calf...
we did not realize she had a twin
until the next morning....ugh.
until the next morning....ugh.
