Weeman and Me- A Deep Discussion

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 Weeman is now 16 months old and trailing Daisy cow in heat.  He’s a bull.  He knows he’s a bull.  Time to get a handle on him before it’s too late.

 Dexters have a pretty easy going attitude and aren’t overly agressive.  Good thing or I could have been perforated by those little clown stabbers!

 The cow halter was too big but the clown stabbers kept it on his head long enough for me to get him worked down and something else substituted.  Weeman ended up with a weanling sized horse halter adjusted all the way down.

This whole process took about an hour and a half.  It was pretty much like trying to reel a marlin in.  Once I’d get him close enough to rub on him, off he’d go again and the reel back in started.  When he stood still and let me rub on him and put the other halter on, I turned him loose.  Enough for one day, he did good and it was a good place to stop.

Every critter on the place got to be outside all day, eating grass.  Even the goofy holstein bull calf got outside.  He’s coming along nicely too.  Not leading very well but we can get where we need to.  I did get to watch him learn about the road and cars tho.  It was quiet when I put him out on his line.  He’s never been outside the barn before.  Then, a pickup truck drove by.  OMG, ITS A HUGE MONSTER!  off he ran and hit the end of the rope, full blast.  Yep, he learned real quick.  Second car came by and he ran to the end of the rope and stopped.  Don’t have to show him twice, LOL  Third car went by and he didn’t even raise his head from the grass.  maybe he’s smarter than I thought he was…. 

While Dingleberry was pretty entertaining, what really surprised me today was the jersey/dexter cross calf.  Carmel also had her first outdoor adventure.  She took off from Goober and never looked back.  Carmel hung out with Daisy cow all day and no amount of Momma calling would change her mind.  Goober had a full bag when I put her up at dark.  The calf ran in the stall and said MOMMA! and got herself a drink.  Goofy thing.  Guess Goober wasn’t Momma outside.  What a switch from how Daisy was.  Daisy was darn near a year old before I could get her weaned.  Carmel doesn’t seem to care where her momma is, or who she is for that matter, LOL  Must be the dexter in her!

Got some tree damage from the storm that just blew thru day before yesterday picked up and the cow stalls cleaned out.  Tomorrow I’ll probably turn some more garden over so I can get more woodchip put down for the Back to Eden garden plan.  It really worked well thru the drought and I’m excited to expand it and see how much more I can produce with it.

I put some woodchip down along the front of the trailer before it rained.  I was so impressed on how well it worked in the gardens for holding moisture and keeping it from being muddy.  The muddy walkway to the crappy porch was a sore spot for me but no longer.  The woodchip proved itself once again as we got a ton of rain and it held it’s place and no mud!  The floor is cleaner because of it.  A nice change for me and less muddy floor mopping…
