What's new, pussycats, wo wo wo......... Just after my last post, I went to the cattle sale in Lampasas. I bought two 8-month bred cows. They look like twins, and only 20# different in weight. These have horns, too. Of course, I didn't take a trailer, as I expected to see the same pitiful offering as the past few weeks. I had to go back home and get the trailer and on the way back to Lampasas, I broke my glasses. It jsut keeps getting better. Luckily, I kept my old pair in the truck, just in case. The Rx is different, but close. My new ones will be here in a week. Brought the cows home, and put them in a pen to let them settle. They were just fine. I went in the pen and poured some cow cake out for them and they ate it. They weren't the least bit aggressive, nor did they try to run. I turned them out and they went to the back of the pasture, like I knew they would. The next afternoon, they came around to the front, exploring. Today, about noon, they came back around to the front. I poured some more cake in the feed buckets, and they came up and ate it. Then they mosied on off. They have never broke into a run. This is the first time I ever had any so gentle this soon. I post photos when I get back to a computer that's not a dinosaur and on dial-up.

As per Carter luck, the frame for my china-choppers still hasn't come in. I hope it's here Monday. I'm a little worried. I have one place I think may have a chip of bone left. Just my luck. I'll have him X-ray it next time I go in. Supposed to turn off cold and rainy this weekend. I wouldn't be surprised if one or both of the cows drop their calves as the front/low pressure blow through. The forcast calls for a possible frost this weekend. But, we usually get an Easter cold snap, every year. That's why the local old timers say not to plant your garden until Good Friday. With all the recent rain, the blue bonnets sure have turned out. Supposed to get more rain this weekend.

That's about all the news for now. I'll try to keep you updated. Happy Easter to all, Rick.
