CACHE COW

Yesterday was a busy day, once we got out and about we went caching, found 15 in all. Had forgotten how differnt town caching is, all those cars kept getting in our way. Good thing W was driving. Ofcoruse we chose easy finds, good thing we went caching yesterday since it is raining today. Stopped at Baskin Robbins for Ice ceram, I got a small and should have asked for a kids size, I ate it all but it was to much. Never thought I would say that!
It was after 6:00pm when the M&M MILKSHAKERS got done with the Vet and arrived at Bob's Farm. Grandpa Dale, cames roaring in with a load of 8 cows, now these cow have always been out in the pasture so they are not very people friendly at this point. Some of them were down right onery, there was three people pushing and pulling to get some of them out of the trailer. Glad I was only taking pictures. Thanks to Kevin being there Tami did not have to work quite so hard helping getting the cows settled. Belive me it took them all to do the job.
Here is Wayne being a maniack on the tractor, thank goodness they never gave him the keys. Haliey and her famous smile. Trace sitting on the fence. All three girls, Chelsea, Haliey, and Cassidy. All the 4Hers plotting there training plans. Well maybe at this point just staying out of the way.
They fianlly got most of the cows settled down and it was time for the 4H'ers to get aquainted with there cows. Giving them all grain helped a lot. There was one cow that was not having anything to do with even the grain. Few more days working with the cows they will be settled down and be ready to learn. The middle picture is of April showing the 4H'ers an easy way to tie a rope. Thank goodness all I am expected to do is take pictures. Wayne has found his job to, that is holding down the tractor so it does not get away.

More of the cow saga later.....B
