I had a first calf heifer drop a calf late Thursday. I got it tagged after supper and last I saw it,it was running up over the hill with it's mother. Yesterday morning,I didn't see it out there. No huge deal for a new calf. Yesterday afternoon,I still didn't see it. Again about five o'clock,no calf around. I went all over the pasture with the four wheeler and couldn't find it. The wife and I went back out after supper,in the rain,for an hour and a half looking. We looked in the neighbor's swamps and woods,I rode up to the other side of the swamps to the north and walked out in the edges incase it went all the way through. Couldn't find it. I went out with the cows on the south side of the road,thinking that maybe by some wild stretch,it had come across the road. Couldn't find it. I just threw in the towel,figured it had gotten in to the swamp,got hung up somewhere and it was a goner in that cold rain. The cows on the south side of the road are in the pasture east of the house. About a quarter to nine,the wife looked out to the west and said there was a calf running back and forth along the fence out there along the road. She ran out and looked and it was the one we were looking for. I went out around it,it dove through five strands of barbed wire,got back across the road to the north side without getting hit by a car,got through the fence over there and met its mama about halfway across the pasture.
That was as close as I ever came to just flat out completely loosing one. No idea why he left his mama and crossed the road. I thought for sure with her being a first calf heifer,she'd just forget about it in a hurry,but she sure seemed glad to see it. About as glad as I was.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
