tho Calista Flockhart doesn't seem to mind. BTW, I love the barn raising scene in "Witness." He and Kelly McGillis were great in that movie.

hopefully she does fine
right off the start for you

But, seriously, good experienced milkers will. But, Edie is young and hasn't been milked yet, so since it will be new to her, she's likely to get fidgety and "kick the bucket". Nothing worse that having an aching back, tired hands and having your reward dumped on the floor...

There's Cowboy Cat, Raven's little buddy.



And Raven's other buddy, Billy-Bob, the bobcat.



Wild About Cats' caging is here, the only other cat currently on our permits is Zulu the cheetah, but she's on exhibit loan to Animal Ark near Reno. Pat, you should go there! http://www.animalark.org

Here I am with her brother Shaka:



And, Chili the donkey is here.



I have a rescued blind friesian horse on loan to a dressage rider friend (you can read about him athttp://www.wildaboutcats.org/mojo.htm ). And an arabian that is leased out to a friend since I can't afford to feed him right now. And a rescued mustang that is at a trainer for his first rides under saddle, he'll be home in 3 weeks.

there is NOTHING in the world like farm fresh eggs..
they are totally awesome
I commend you for your efforts with all these animals Dawn

there are chickens and cows and Betty
do you have any other critters at the house there??

can not believe how easy they seem to follow your lead..
cool video
thanks for sharing

btw, why are they put in the stanchion? When Harrison Ford milked the cow in the movie "Witness," the cow was just standing there free as a bird, (g).

Hi Gary,
I answered your egg question under Pat's comment...

Here's Betty with Edie:



I just took this video of the cows. I am leading them to the cow barn for grooming training. Ms. Edie is going to have her calf in the next few weeks, so we are getting into a milking routine in the stanchion, just grooming right now. Picking up her feet, putting a bucket under her, massaging her udder. This little barn and it's interior is 70+ years old. There are actually bootprints in the concrete floor from the farmer that poured it.

Ha, ha, my mom dressed me funny. It was 1973. Anyway, notice the little tree is only a few feet tall, it is the same tree that the hens are dust bathing under in the video.

Gary: Here are their beautiful eggs. Yes, they are naturally this color. I get almost 2 dozen a day. The egg sales to friends pay for my grocery bill each month.



I am truly blessed to have this tiny farm as my heritage. Even though I am in the poorhouse for it, it is so rewarding. Anyone is welcome to come visit Betty and I in CA!!
