This week started off with a cold wet snow on Monday. That's not great for new calves to be out in. We had a couple of calves that were two days old end up with pneumonia and despite being treated with antibiotics as soon as we noticed it they didn't survive.
Glen has spent the rest of the week trying to get the extra twins going on the cows that have lost their calves. The cows are not too excited about this development but the calves will likely wear them down and they will resign to their new child. If you are reading this and while watching the video during the water run off portion Glen mentions the name of a place where he lived with his parents until he was three. Put the first name he said in the comments and we will see what happens. There is a time limit for this to happen, let's say April 15, 2023.
Thanks so much for watching and take care,
Annette
Beautifully rendered presentation, TCE👍17
See you again! Have a great week ahead!
Thank you! You too! 🌺
Your ranch is so blissful with adoranle calves❤
Thank you so much! 🌺
Always always love to see the baby calvs ...the snowy sorrounding
Thanks Mithz! 🌺
Those calves are such cuties. I never knew what grafting was. Now I know! It is amazing all the water you have. We're waiting for full melt so we can see how much water we'll have around. Have a great week!
Hi Rich! The runoff here is so neat, we look forward to it and miss it when it doesn’t happen.
Most of the water has already absorbed in the field, which is okay because it is a bit of a worry with the calves.
It will be interesting to see what all your snow does when it melts.
Take care.

Thank you! Beautiful, cold and windy is very accurate.
Take care,

아직 눈이 있군요!
한국은 예쁜 꽃들이 피는 따뜻한 봄이에요.
시냇물이 흐르는 풍경도 참 평화로워요.
좋은 영상 공유해 주셔서 감사합니다 ^.^
Thank you for watching, we still have snow for sure.
It may be another month without snow yet.
Take care,

I just love seeing the baby calves. The run off runs pretty swiftly. Awesome views.
Thanks Ina! The baby calves are so cute running in the field now.

Oh my goodness, cuteness overload when the calf was being bottle fed. You two are doing a great job keeping them safe. I’ve been following more on Instagram but so glad I got to see the full update here ❤ - Theresa
Thanks so much Theresa! 🌺🥰
Fascinating to see what all you guys do and the calves are adorable!! 😊💗
I love it so much! 🌺
The baby brown cow so cute. I can hear the wind and it seems like getting warmer to your place. Cow will enjoy the water except for the baby cow, it could be slippery for them. Glen did a nice capture between the blue sky, brown grass and water everywhere. Thank you Annette for sharing.
Thank you so much Josiebel! 🌺 Happy Easter. 🌷
Wow I love to be here you had a lot of livestock's congratulations you are very rich

Thank you and Take care! 🌺
Hello friend
Have a wonderful day
Thank you, you too! 🌺
Whoa…sounds like a lot of calving issues (normal I’m sure but wow!). Grafting is the coolest thing when it works well, The run off looks divine! And the dug out looks great. Awesome story about the homestead.
Thanks Lisa! The cow we are trying to get R320 onto is still gently kicking at him.
Glen watched one night for about 20 minutes and they went around in circles until the calf finally wore her down and she just let him suck. 😂
He should smell like her now having been on her for about a week.
There are a few more that Glen is keeping close to monitor. Big guy and c-sec mom are doing okay. Glen gives him a bottle morning and night in case he needs more.
Homestead story was so cool. Dynamite sounds like a lot of fun...😜
Take care friend,
Annette🌺
I like farm crows
Thank you! Me too! 🌺
I bet the grass really grows in all those low lying areas that the water sits and has some time to soak in.
Our place gets underwater when it rains alot and the creek gets out of banks, but man does the grass grow in the bottom lands. Great video!
The grass and crops do grow so well in those low areas for sure. Oh, I wish we had a creek!
Take care Gwen,
Annette🌺
@TheCowEmporium I have a love-hate relationship with the creek. It causes alot of fence repairs that otherwise wouldn't be needed.
👌❤
Is that the big red cow from a few weeks ago? So sad that she lost her calf. Glad to see the beautiful twin baby take to her!
Great Resource Management. Not only is the water collecting in the dugouts, it's also seeping into the ground to replenish the water table. So important to let the land do this. In California we've overdeveloped and the land can't absorb enough water to replenish. Saltwater intrusion has ruined many wells, and the Central Valley has sunk over 9 meters in places and continues to sink. Some of the aquafers will never recover.
Spring flowers can't be too far off, then it will be time to plant the garden!
Hi Kathy!
This red cow just calved last weekend, pneumonia can be hard to treat in these young calves as they go downhill in health so quickly.
California really is struggling with their water. Not having water is so scary.
We have a snowfall warning today and into tomorrow, so crazy! I can't wait to get out into the garden, for now I will have to be happy with the plants I have going already. I know I have way too many tomatoes started and I tried so hard to cut back on tomatoes this year.. LOL
Please take care Kathy, I hope you are feeling better soon.
Annette
@@TheCowEmporium Thanks, Anette! Coffee is working its magic. You should make Maplecook's 4 hour roasted tomatoes when your crop is in! I still have to build a fence around my garden to keep the critters out. We're overrun this year. The wet winter has been very good for the ground squirrels and rats; we have a bumper crop! I'll be watching and cheering you on as you get your garden going.😁🌱🍅🥔🧄🧅🫑🥕💚
Hurray for water! Average run off is so much better than last year. 💦
My friend! I know you understand how much this means! 😍
Glen says that the water in the dugout is future garden box carrots! Lol 😂😂
aw... calves. I never thought I'd miss calves but I do. (it was my job to bottle feed the excess holstein calves my uncle had at some points). Your view is gorgeous.
Thank you Dawn. I understand how you could miss working with sweet bottle babies. They love us so much!
Take care lovely,
Annette 🌺
Boomers! I believe that was the name, without going back to re-watch. Fantastic video. Does the dugout serve solely as a retention pond, or does it also serve as a watering hole and/or irrigation pond?
Good job Rick! The dugout water gets pumped out for the cattle and we use it on our gardens. Thanks for watching. 🌺
Boomers then the Wards? wow bet that was intresting to watch them dynamite the area for the water to run through , so sorry about the calves , hope the weather warms up for you
Thank you! That’s right. ✅
They didn’t have machinery then like we do know that could dig though the frozen ground, dynamite sounds pretty crazy but I guess that worked! 😅
Take care,
Annette🌺
Looks like you need to dig a pond.
I agree Deb!
