New calves are coming everyday now.
It's all we talk about.
We use short sentences and it's like we are speaking a language only we can understand.
It's like this....
It sucked.
The feet are there.
Did it suck?
Did you put her in?
Do you think it sucked?
Did you put her out?
I don't think it sucked.
She needs to be put in.
She lickin' it off.
It's fine...it sucked.
Put her out.
Put her in.
The water broke.
There's another one. It's fine. It's good.
It sucked.

Hello and Welcome! We are the Dwyer Family. We farm in the beautiful Ottawa Valley, Ontario, Canada. We are a Christian, Roman Catholic family with five children. We own and operate 'Dwyer's Farmhouse'. It's a farm vacation get-a-way place. Our guests stay in a farmhouse and experience a working farm. I hope you enjoy following along with our adventures.....there is never a dull moment here! This is our farm story....
What does "Did you put her out?" and "Did you put her in?" refer to?
ReplyDeleteThat's a great question! All the heifers are in the barnyard that are close to calving but if it looks like she is pritneer gonna calve...probably within the next couple of hours....then she needs to be 'put in' the barn. And then if she has calved and the calf is resting...and has sucked....the heifer can be put out for a drink and eat with the other heifers in the barnyard.....so she can be 'put out'. But I should have written in the blog that Terry would have actually said to the boys when they come in the house "Did youse put 'er in?" Or "Did youse put 'er out?" That would have been better.
Delete:) Too funny!
