Some of you may know this story, but the night before our wedding day at the rehearsal dinner, Logan's dad, Roger, got up to give little speech. In his speech, he noted how happy they were to be gaining a girl like me in their family. The key points of his speech, however, revolved around cattle! Ever since I started dating Logan, I have always found an interest in the cattle side of the farm. Roger picked up on this, and on the night of rehearsal dinner, he asked me what my job is when calving comes around. The answer: Holding the tail!! Since this is my job, and everyone knows that my favorite color is pink, Roger got me a pair of PINK gloves for holding the tail!!
Well these gloves sure came in handy a few days ago when we got dairy calf to take the place of a calf that had died. I went out to give the cute baby a bottle, and of course wore my tail holding gloves! Before we gave the calf a bottle, we tried to get it to suck from the mom. Guess what job I got during this process?!!
If you guessed holding the tail, you were right!! This post/picture is for you Roger!
Farm Girl Tip #121: If you marry a cattle man, make sure you get tail holding gloves! You will need them during calving!
