We had our annual Ozarks Memories Day parade today and while getting the horses ready I observed Penny nursing. That explains why she looks so good! Macy doesn't look worse for the wear either. I have no bull to breed her to, so it's a good thing that she is lactating in the mean time. Penny is now 8+ months old.

Macy sounds like she is a good cow then, still feeding happily after 8 months. It certainly gives calves a good start in life. Hope you had a fun time at your parade. Did the horses behave? What is it in memory of? We have our Irish Woolfest coming up next weekend in a nearby town that we are going to, they have the "Running of the Lambs" as a parade, they run a flock of sheep through the streets of town just for the fun of it.  |

 Ozark Memories Day celebrates local history, specifically that of the town of Dover. Dover is now but a little town, blink and you'll miss it, but it used to be the county seat. OMD gives us a chance to throw a party with a parade, games for the kids, lots of food and craft vendors. Then there is the chicken dinner and a band concert. It's a full day of fun! |

Weaned Penny tonight, she is 10 months old. Surprisingly, the mama is more stressed about the separation.
