AI Work on Heifers, Tilling the Garden, Cute Donkeys & Nosy Calves

Interesting title, huh? Today was an extremely busy day that started way before daylight and ended some 14 hours later. So I tried to capture just about everything that went on, in one title.
We were up before sunrise for coffee and then getting our new replacement heifers, plus our raised heifers in the lot. Crazy A Breeding Services out of Stephenville, TX came to the farm this morning to put CIDRs in all of our heifers to begin the AI process. We are very pleased with their service and excited to see what the outcome will be (more info coming soon on this process).
Next, we mowed the yards (two.....ours and the old farmhouse yard that belonged to my parents).
We then tilled the garden, which just seems to be a bit too large......but we'll see. Working on the sprayer (because one of the donkeys broke it while using it for a rear-end scratching post), cooking lunch, tearing out an old fence, and checking / feeding cows also took place today.
Basically......just a normal day on the farm.....wouldn't have it any other way!
