Slightly distracted while doing this blog post- Garry headed to bed at 10 pm with the Eagles in the lead at halftime over Detroit. He is getting up at 4 am so he and Maxim can head over to where the herd he's buying is and preg check and otherwise check them over again. Victor, his sons Denis and Daniel are supposed to be here before 7am to pick up Seth and Jonah and one of the neighbor's teen sons to help them chase the cows to their home (if all goes well - by lunchtime) As you can see the guys got the barn all cleaned up and even got some hay out for the cows to eat after they arrive on Monday. As dusk was falling they made a "tractor barrier" to help guide them into the barn door and ground some corn with a little mill Victor had in the attic.
Anyway I started uploading photos for this blog after checking the end of the Eagles game- they held on to win- I grew up in NJ - the part where you root for Philly not NY teams and converted Garry to the Eagles cause for life (and all the boys who watch football) Sadly he started rooting for the Blue Jays after we moved to Canada, while I am a lifelong Phillies fan- that World Series last decade wasn't pretty with that homerun they still talk about off of the Wild Thing. The last couple years the Philles are looking good anyway I checked on the Phils on the internet and found them down by 3 going into the bottom of the 9th, and watched the little boxes move around the bases to score 2 and then two more with a homerun by Werth- no outs- and can't even brag about it until 4 am! (except to you) Go Phils!
So hopefully all goes as planned in the morning- and the ladies who currently milk the herd show up here to milk them as planned for the next while- these cows are all milked by hand and are going to be a little surprized as the milking machines get phased in this fall.
