My darling daughter has dairy farming in her blood. She begs to go to the dairy farm daily. And once there, she wants to spend all her time in the parlor. She even tells me to go away, that she is fine in the parlor. Too bad she is way too short to really help. She either has to be lifted up, or she drags a stool around with her to reach the cows.
Here is Casey lifting her up to reach the cows, applying the post-dip.Holding the post-dip just waiting for a cow to finish milking so she can dip them.Casey & Georgia bringing up the cows to be milked.And Georgia cleaning poop off of the free stalls.

Getting outsidte
There is one part of the pig farming that I don't really do to much with, castrating pigs. I'll happily help load the piglets up and hang things to Case that he needs, but that is it.
Case and his dad do the rest.
The kids and I went out to see if they could use our "help". Here they are watching the action.
Georgia talking to the piglets.Austin talking to the piglets.They loved that since the pigs were contained they could pet them.After I took this picture they hugged each other to the ground then proceeded to roll around in the crap. Ugh!

Bird Feeders
The kids go to day care two days a week. They love playing with the other kids and I love having two days to clean and run errands, etc.
This past week they made bird feeders. So we hung them up this morning.After hanging up feeders they came with me to check pigs. Austin spent his time digging in the snow looking for "gold" and "medals". And Georgia played with her barn cat. But they did come into a couple pens with me.We took the sled out, I pulled both of them. Georgia pulled Austin all the way back for me. She's so sweet. And since the driveway is nothing but packed snow, it isn't hard to pull at all.Roughly only 40 days until the arrival of baby #3. I'm starting to get things ready. I'm not sure if we'll really be ready for three children. ;)
