We tacked it to the barn wall where it collected breeding dates, bull numbers and fly specks! I remember we had a chart once where every cow on the chart settled on first service! The inseminator borrowed it to show to other dairymen!Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17220541167338802642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749684475391974742.post-57959342308797760112014-01-07T12:34:57.329-05:002014-01-07T12:34:57.329-05:00Yeah for the little book.

We had a winter thaw with rain yesterday and today it's windy and freezing. The barn yard is slippery and I had to put sand where i walk between barn and I wore a pair of ice grippers on my boots.<br /><br />I'm hoping that your water bowls will not freeze.

I have everyone of them since we moved to this farm from 1979. Oh yes it is truly interesting to pull them out and see how far we have come. History in the making for our children.

Still there's something about hand written notes and 3x5 recipe cards that have a lot more value than a computer spread sheet.
