Surprise! Yes… I’ve kept a secret the past month or so… But now it is time to share the news… Elsa and Lucas are proud parents of nine new puppies! Yeah, I know, Elsa just HAD puppies in the spring… this was NOT planned by me, I admit. I admit one door is not always…

Pregnancy Testing Video
This video shows our hard work yesterday much better than my OOPE photos! I believe I’ve outlined the basics of what we are doing on the video… but should you have any questions, please leave a comment and I’ll try to answer or clarify anything. I usually give the vaccinations… but Vernon took…
Puppy Video at 6 Weeks
This has taken WAY too much time… and I don’t like it… I thought I could remove the original sound and cover it with music… but somehow I couldn’t figure out how… so if you are an Imovie expert… please contact me and tell me how to do this. I KNOW it can be done,…
Disagreements
I am working on a puppy video… but between having only a little tape, eleven puppies, and now, a dead battery… I’ve been slowed down. Sigh. I’ll get it tomorrow. But for now… here’s an insight into puppy disagreements and family dynamics. Puppy disagreements from Carol Greet on Vimeo.
Spring Turnout
Thought I’d share my first OOPE video… shot out of my pocket on Saturday. The annoying sound is the camera… but just listen to the bawling of the mommas and babies! Enjoy! Spring Turnout from Carol Greet on Vimeo.
The Zone on Video
Remember the Zone? Well, I captured it on video yesterday morning… So if you’re up for 4 minutes of puppy squirming, squeaking, grunting, and nursing… you’re one happy puppy. Or eleven. Please notice… Big Sister Dally is allowed to be there now… Don’t think that Elsa doesn’t make her pay on occasion! But Dally is…

Heifers 3
So, we have gathered and sorted heifers, and now we do our night checks. I’m in charge of the 10:30 pm night check… I’m more a night owl than Vernon, so while he might have been in bed for a couple of hours already, I’m just finishing a craft or watching the news, or reading a book… and ready…
Heifers 2
What a wonderful springlike day… warm, snow melting everywhere… runoff turning the creek from clear to red… and more babies! Our cows have now started having babies as well, so within two weeks we’ll be surrounded by calves – bucking, playing, running wild with tails in the air! For now, I have the second video…
Heifers Step 1
I have a series of videos showing how we calve our heifers. Tonight is step one… The gathering of the small area where they spend their days. If any calves want to be born in daylight, we’ll just push them up to the corral and pen them. However, if they choose to be born at…
Wild Calf Movie
A few weeks ago when we were vaccinating our heifers, we had this little devil to take care of. This is the first “oops” calf (not to be confused with OOPE!) that I can remember having here this early. Evidently his momma snuck out and had an exciting RRRENDEZVOUS (say it with a French accent!)….
