New Ride!

This farm girl has got a new set of wheels! Beings that I am a farm girl now, I needed something that was a little higher off the ground and would do a little bit better in the winter time.  Here is the new farm girl vehicle...

Farm Girl Tip # 117: If you are a farm girl, you need a vehicle like this! :)

The Joys of Having Cattle

Because we have cattle on the farm, there is a risk we take every single day that some cows might be out.  Well this risk happened every day for 2 days straight, and I happened to be home for one of those days.

Logan went out to go do chores in the morning and after feeding, let all of the new cattle he had bought a few days earlier,  out on cornstalks.  Within about 20 minutes, all of these new cattle had broken through the hotwire and were scattered all over the farm.  Logan calls me and says to get some warm clothes on, come outside, and hop on a four wheeler to help him.

I do as I am told and help him get the cattle back in.  Logan fixes the fence, comes inside and tells me that we need to go to Aberdeen.  He tells me that he is nervous to leave because he is afraid the cattle will get out again. Well we go to Aberdeen to get gates and what not.  Logan gets a text from his hired man saying that all of the cattle are out again.  We hurry home, get the cattle back in, fix the fence and wait.  10 minutes later, they are out again.  This happens over and over and over until Logan feeds them, they get full, and lay down.  

This happened for 2 days, but each time one would break the hotwire and get out, it would get moved back into the lots.  This seemed to solve the problem, and there are no longer any cattle getting out!   THANK GOODNESS!!

Here I am freezing my toosh off and being a farm girl!

Farm Girl Tip #116: If you are home and you have cattle, be prepared to bundle up and put the cattle back in because they will probably all get out!

'Tis The Season

'Tis the season for.........................MICE!

We have had a few of these little creatures sneak into our new house! It has been really disgusting, but we have since sealed up every little crack, so hopefully they will stay out! 

I was cleaning the basement the other day when I noticed mice poop all over a sheet we had covering some things in the basement.  Logan and I grabbed the sticky traps, set them up, and waited for a mouse to get stuck.  Sure enough, I went down the next day and a little creature had been caught. I hope this is the last mouse I see in this house for a loong time!!

Farm Girl Tip #115: If you think that you will get rid of your mice problem by burning down your house and building a new one...you are wrong.  These little buggers will still find a way to get into your nice warm house! 

Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays to all of my blog readers! It is Christmas at the Clemensen household! The tree was put up a few weeks ago, and the stockings were hung.  Everything looks so nice in this new house! :)

** We did have to get a new tree because the one from the old house had mice remains in it....BARF!!  (I WAS NOT going to let that be into my house!)

Farm Girl Tip #114: Happy Holidays to all of you!

It's A Girl!

My pink baby is home!  She and all of the others were being fed in the lots, but have since moved out to the cornstalks where they have to get exercise and go find their food.  She loves to see me when I come out to see her! I am going to buy her a pink collar and a pink leash and take her on walks.  She can sleep in my nice warm garage with Josie! They will be best friends!!

Farm Girl Tip #113: If you have a cow with pink ear tags that doesn't work out for you, just get a new one! This one really loves me!
