Did you donate to buy a cow for the school?

If you did, you will be excited to know that the first 15 cows have been found and brought to the barn! Here are some photos of the lucky girls getting on the the truck at their old farm and getting off at the trade school barn.They joined the other heifers and dry cows in the corral, or barn yard over there.

They aren't quite cows yet, but pregnant heifers that will calve (give birth) and become milking cows in about two months, or September, when the new school year starts and we plan to start milking cows in the trade school barn. Many of the cows, the younger ones in the bran here will move over there, but we will buy as many as we can find to fill the stalls with good cows to milk in the "new" milking parlor (a used one from Canada), which Garry plans to install in August after it arrives. He shipped it while we were in Canada for our son's wedding last month. Right now he is looking at get the metal framework for it built and in place.
