Carter Cattle Company

Carter Cattle Company

Greetings, all. Not alot to report, did get 2 and 1/2" of rain last week. A little hail (pea to ping-pong ball size), but no damage. I finally had to mow the yard for the first time this year. I don't mind, I'll take rain any way I can get it. I did spend a couple of hours Saturday afternoon re-building the driveway after the rains washed it out, but it was well worth it. Sure did perk up the garden. The coastal is growing good, too. Deb's dog took out the small female duck last week. Guess the males will quit fighting, now. The miniature game hens (brown) are setting. The black ones are laying good, too. Supposed to have a chance for more rain later this week. BRING IT ON! Last Friday, Deb had some more blood work done for the Heart Dr. About 5:30PM, they called back and told her to come to the Emergency Room, because her potassium was real low and the heart Dr was out of town. I rushed home and took her up there, and after an hour and a half, the Dr gave her a Rx for some potassium supplements and we went home. Not much of an emergency. Never a dull moment. Other than the fowl, the animals are all doing well. Little April is wound up like a cheap watch. Always running in circles with her tail up in the air. I guess everyone got excited about the rain. ho ho. Well, gotta go. More as it becomes available.
