[00:01:19]Oh, >> [gasps] >> Lori just texted and said no, she didn't beat me.

[00:01:23]>> [laughter] >> So, she's in here somewhere. I don't know why she's she's probably sending out links.

[00:01:32]He's been bruising me.

[00:02:41]>> [laughter] >> When I checked the stats on you guys.

[00:02:45]It's not Words With Friends, Sharon.

[00:02:47]It's Word Chums.

[00:02:50]Yeah. I used to play Words With Friends, but Lori didn't and she played Word Chums and didn't like the setup of Words With Friends, so then to play her I played Word Chums and so, that's where I've been since.

[00:03:04]Everyone hit the like button, Donna says. Thank you.

[00:03:09]And yeah, so last night I did not go live.

[00:03:13]It's my normal night and I usually go at 7:30. You're hurting my head with your head and chin.

[00:03:20]Um and I don't know.

[00:03:25]But last night we were over at LG Homestead because we I would say helping dispose of a cow, but Lori did most of it with her tractor.

[00:03:37]But Chris and I and the kids went over and um and we had to take a our cow that passed away to the back of the pasture and that like is so sad.

[00:03:54]But I do have if you saw the thumbnail that's on this um this Oh, there's Sheena.

[00:04:07]Um the that I have I have a baby over here that I'm feeding.

[00:04:16]Who passed away? My black cow.

[00:04:22]>> [clears throat] >> Uh cause is still under investigation, but but my my black cow who just had a baby, so I have a bottle baby.

[00:04:34]And then the same day that that all this is going on, I think it was maybe Why are you shaking your head?

[00:04:45]It's not Belle. It's Sue's. Oh, no, it's not Belle. It's my It's my I have a black cow, a brown cow, and Belle. And it was the black cow and she was I had her as a first time heifer and so, >> [laughter] >> Um you're not a cat.

[00:05:06]Um Uh so, we had this was her fourth Stop.

[00:05:11]calf.

[00:05:13]Um I think Is that right, Lori? Is it her third or fourth?

[00:05:22]I I think fourth. I don't know. My brain is a little bit fried. Um Yes, so it was the cow that had the baby. So, the first baby this year.

[00:05:37]And uh Tammy, hello, Tammy. I'm glad you're in here.

[00:05:45]>> [clears throat] >> Hey, stop.

[00:05:47]Gosh, you guys are going to have to leave if you Hey.

[00:05:53]You have to leave.

[00:05:56]Uh thank you, Alberta.

[00:05:59]It was It's It's hard. It's really hard. I came home that day knowing what was going on with her and then three of our ducks got um killed by neighbor. Should not be on my property. the neighbors.

[00:06:19]And so, um So, I came home to three dead baby ducks on my porch.

[00:06:29]And the house big, but We are under tornado watch in Arkansas.

[00:06:34]You know what, Donna? The storms that moved through here just not too long ago brought some big hail. We had uh So, we have the calf here, the bottle feeder, and we had the calf outside and Curtis had made a shelter that could keep her from the rain. Well, that rain came in so hard and heavy and then it started hailing and I think the hail hitting the tin on the little shelter uh scared her, so she was up she was out in the hail.

[00:07:03]And so, um he ran out and got her and brought her in the house.

[00:07:11]So, Who did?

[00:07:13]Yeah, we didn't have a good day.

[00:07:15]Um Sean ran out and got her. He wants me to make sure cuz he did. He's like he threw on his shoes and ran out there and grabbed the calf and brought her in cuz it was hailing hard. Like it wasn't huge hail, but but they were like they were they were big. They were painful, weren't they, Sean? Mhm.

[00:07:37]>> [laughter] >> Yeah, he got to feel the sting.

[00:07:41]He got to feel the sting of them.

[00:07:44]And says, "What part of Arkansas?" Donna says, "Conway and we're in tornado watch." So, if it's that same Uh Sue says, "We are in Eureka Springs under a tornado watch."

[00:07:55]Wow, so I guess that storm that moved through here kind of defied because that was best kind of the way it was >> [clears throat] >> it was going.

[00:08:04]Oh, Donna said they had softball size.

[00:08:06]Wow, that that would have knocked you out, Sean.

[00:08:09]We would have lost the calf, too, if that would have been the case cuz it knocked her out. Um Sharon said I did I'm glad she was a little heifer instead of a bull calf. I think I am I am because if if I can make her a milk cow, her mom that passed had an absolute awesome udder.

[00:08:32]Um Um I found out through the circumstances that um like like she has a a soft udder, lots of milk, easy to milk, and so So, this little heifer should make a really good milk cow.

[00:08:51]So, uh So, yeah, normally I would actually want a bull calf so we could raise to go in the freezer because we're not have enough land to really build a herd.

[00:09:01]Um But we do need to eat.

[00:09:06]But I am I'm glad she's a heifer, too.

[00:09:09]Tammy says, "I was looking at Google earlier and there's so many states having really bad There really is. It's It's been really bad and the tornado that hit Enid last week, I guess. Are you going to keep the calf? Yes, I'm going to keep her. I'm going to try to make a milk cow out of her. Um I mean, it's it's a two-year process.

[00:09:37]I won't breed her until she's uh So, she'll calf after she's two.

[00:09:44]So, and she's, you know, 3 days old today.

[00:09:48]Oh, Sharon said, "I'm sorry for the dogs, guys."

[00:09:52]Little neighbor boy is won't leave.

[00:09:55]Um, I just had a baby today when I went out to feed my new being finally had her baby.

[00:10:04]And [clears throat] I got a little girl this time. She's always throwing twin boys at the last 3 years. Well, yay, I'm really glad you got a heifer.

[00:10:16]Does she have enough milk for her babies when she has twins?

[00:10:20]That would be the other thing.

[00:10:23]Donna says, "The weather is crazy this morning, tornadoes." Oh, you keep skipping on me. Come back.

[00:10:29]Um, then sunshine and now back to tornado watches. It was It was bad Actually, we brought her in this morning probably around 10 10 or 11 and um because it was It was raining out there and we hadn't got a good shelter up for her.

[00:10:46]And so um brought her in and then took her back out and it was like it was like that here. It was really sunny and pretty and then that weather rolled in and >> [laughter] >> it was mean weather.

[00:10:58]Um Donna said Okay, I just read that, didn't I?

[00:11:05]Sharon said, "Nubian Stupid voice text texting.

[00:11:10]>> [laughter] >> Nubian goat not being I got it.

[00:11:14]Nubian twins. Okay, so the Nubian throws So the goat throws twin boys and you got a Am I Am I on the right my mind?

[00:11:26]Yeah.

[00:11:27]And so now you have a little doe ling.

[00:11:30]Now I got it right, right? Donna says, "Amy, I hope you can make milk out of" I really do. I I That's That's my That's really what I'm trying to do to make something good come of uh You know, when you only have Well, now I have three cows cuz of When you only have three cows and you lose one that's that's kind of really big.

[00:11:55]Um yeah.

[00:11:58]Yes, I am married.

[00:12:01]Uh do you have a tornado shelter? You know what?

[00:12:04]Peyton, um we have one and for the first I think 3 years that we lived here Yeah, [clears throat] for the first 3 years we lived here, we took a sump pump and pumped it out every spring because it gets water in it. And it like fills up with water, not like just has some water in it. Fills up with water.

[00:12:25]And um and so we we keep it pumped out and we had uh pallets in the bottom so even if it got some water in there, um we could stay dry and we used it a few times. Actually, when tornado came through, we were in it. It was when we came back from our cruise for our 25th anniversary. I remember it very well.

[00:12:43]And it was the night we came back. Um but we have not pumped it out for the last Would that be 6 years now?

[00:12:53]Um It's kind of like I don't know. Maybe we're all or being chancy. I don't I don't know.

[00:13:01]But um Yeah, so we don't not So I guess we do have one but not a usable one.

[00:13:11]Okay, [clears throat] Sue says they aren't currently under tornado watch right now.

[00:13:17]Um Yep, I finally got it right on texting, too.

[00:13:22]>> [laughter] >> My brain is woof.

[00:13:26]Uh Tammy says, "Hey guys, Sonic is getting a new burger this week. So far all they will tell us about is it's a tropical burger." Which means it probably has pineapple on it.

[00:13:37]And some really like that but I don't cake. That's different cuz it's sweet, not savory.

[00:13:46]But I don't like pineapple on my pizza or pineapple on my burgers. But lots of people do. That's probably really going to be good FOR SOME PEOPLE.

[00:13:55]MY DOGS ARE ON ON IT, SEAN.

[00:14:00]YES, I'm happily married.

[00:14:03]Hey Tammy, does that mean they just put a pineapple on Yeah, that's what I was wondering.

[00:14:10]Um Your sound is breaking up. I'm sorry, Sue. Is it I wonder if it is for other 10 people watching and 10 thumbs up.

[00:14:18]That's pretty cool.

[00:14:20]Mom has happily been married for 10 years.

[00:14:23]10?

[00:14:25]>> [laughter] >> No, actually This is still April. Next month um actually 1 month from today will be my 32nd anniversary. But you've only been happy >> Your dogs are making my dogs bark. So Sorry, Lori. I don't particularly want them to bark.

[00:14:46]But they've been on I don't know.

[00:14:48]They're like I don't know if it's cuz of the calf out there or the What?

[00:14:54]Did you get the joke? I didn't get your joke. I'm not I wasn't listening to you.

[00:14:58]You've been happily married for 10 years.

[00:15:00]Uh-huh. You're funny. Get out.

[00:15:04]Happily. Hello. All right.

[00:15:09]Um Congratulations. You know what? I'm going to change my settings real quick so I get all instead of top messages, I get all messages. In case I have someone new come in here, I don't want to not say anything to them. That would be mean.

[00:15:29]How is she doing on the bottle?

[00:15:30]Actually, Lori, um what was it that the first day she hadn't had quit.

[00:15:36]Um stuff in or something to eat we we assume all that. She only had like a uh I got like a cup and a half down her that whole day and I was really worried about her.

[00:15:52]I think the first feeding I got about a cup and a half and then the next feeding I got two cups down her and so I was feeling better cuz we had made it up to a quart and she's supposed to have between a around a gallon actually is what saying and um I was like uh but today she's had She's four quarts in a gallon. She's had two a little over two quarts and she's finally taking it now. Like the goats, you have to like get them started, put the the nipple in their mouth so that they'll go and suck. She'll like try to eat my fingers and everything but won't go for the bottle but but you get it in her mouth and she goes to town and so that's really good.

[00:16:32]I think I am going to have to get something. I think she's getting scours.

[00:16:37]Um Sue says, "Hi, Lori."

[00:16:46]Okay.

[00:16:48]So she did I don't know what they're talking about.

[00:16:51]I probably missed something. That's very possible.

[00:16:55]Tammy says, "Okay, saying prayers for y'all."

[00:17:02]Is tonight >> [laughter] >> The calf No, the I don't We don't know the calf's name yet. Addy was thrown around as a possibility. Uh Sean didn't Sean didn't like that. Um so um Is it off?

[00:17:27]>> Just a second. Let me get Let me get this taken care of real quickly. How do I do that, Sean?

[00:17:59]Sorry, we're trying to find something that's missing. Sorry.

[00:18:03]Uh Sean's opinion >> [laughter] >> Oh. Oh, I missed something. So may I add uh She drinks a full gallon each time. No, a full gallon all day. She's supposed to drink a gallon all day.

[00:18:17]Um I was extremely blessed with being able to buy two gallons of colostrum from a uh guy who milks his cows and he had a cow just freshen I guess it'd be the day before yesterday now.

[00:18:32]And uh >> [sighs] >> So Lori says, "Sean Sean's opinion doesn't count." Yes, [laughter] it does.
