Just so we're clear,
I am not cut out to be a cattle farmer's wife.
We just now--at 7:00 at night, in the rain--had to get a cow up in the stable and try to get her to let her calf nurse. She's been kicking at the calf and walking away from him every time he tries to nurse. Jes decided that we would get her in the stable and then she wouldn't be able to run away. Well, that worked out fine, until Jes kept touching her udders and made her mad. Then she was trying to JUMP out of the stable. I ran out of the way and then Jes opened up the doors and she ran out. He got her to calm down, but I was trying to get out of the fence.Then, the freaking bull calf came running after me!
I was scared to death. This is all new to me. And Jes keeps making me go out there at dark! I can feed and water them, but I'm not doing anything else..
..until the next time Jes asks for help.
