and very very muddy once again, but just sticky enough that when you lifted your foot it wouldn't move. But I won't be as stiff in the morning as the stock agent and the Boss who both got good kicks from stroppy calves.
Two trucks are due in tomorrow morning now, so we just might make the sale - we're getting a little truck to ferry a few calves at a time out over the bridge to load onto a big truck, if the river still prevents the larger one coming over the ford.
Then having taken all the calves off their Mums, the Boss let them all back (except the sale ones) as the yards are too muddy to keep them in, and we couldn't get them drenched - it'll all repeat on Saturday. But they are all happy on fresh grass till then.
Oh and the Boss says to tell anyone reading this blog "I wasn't stuck - you're only stuck if you have to get pulled out!!" Obviously sticks under the wheels and pushing doesn't count!
