Good Grief its Friday!

For us, its another day of surprises.  Each day we plan on getting something done and something else seems to take priority.  Take for instance yesterday.  A friend called me in the morning to ask what to do with a cow that looked like it was ready to give birth, but had been in labor for several hours. We discusssed what needed to be done and told her to call later in the morning.  We had a long list of projects we wanted to accomplish after we finished daily chores, like getting on with the cross-fencing in one of the pastures.  Around 1 PM we got a call for help which changed the rest of the priorities for day.  We returned home around 5PM to start our evening chores having accomplished nothing on our project list.  But as always we felt we accomplished a lot since we were able to lend a helping hand to a fellow farmer in need.
Today was no different.  Maureen was off to a farmer's market meeting and I responding to a call for a load of manure. Well, that load turned into 6 loads, with tearing out a fence in the process.  I wanted to remove the fence anyway to make way for a new pad for the manure compost piles.  Not quite what I had in mind for the day, but anyway I was able to get a new project started.
Checked on the chicks, all 425, and  all are doing well.  There are  120 fryers and 305 layers.  We have brooders everywhere!!  Visitors love to see all the variety.  In September we should have over 400 eggs a day!!  Thats a 700% increase in production.  Watch out cholesterol level if we don't sell them all.  At least then I be able to get a taste of our own eggs with lots left for customers.
Well its time for rest (bedtime).  5 am comes awful early....
