Hot On South Texas. Cows Are Smart!

The Butcherbird strikes again! These hunter birds are fascinating to me. South Texas is a major flyway for a number of northern birds. Most Loggerhead Strike spend the summer in the far North nesting and growing strong for their Autumn voyage south to Texas. This bird is still here or already here. I've not seen it but here is the evidence. 8/9/19

Just want to take a minute and thank God for the rain we’ve had almost four inches here in South Texas. North of here in the Hill Country had 10 to 12 inches.

A new nurse! The sweet heart is half Holstein and half Jersey and 6 years old. It took her a day or two but she accept her first charge. These Angus have twins with some regularity so a nurse cow is a good thing! Two nurse cows with 3 'kicked off' calves so far. 012919

3rd twin kicked off by its mom. Darn these fertile Angus. Season just started.

Disappearing birdseed? Now I know!

Cold weather brings freezing rain and ice to south texas. Ice on this agarito.

Newborn died. Then a mama died. Trying to make a new family! Sloppy work on my part..got in a hurry… but it was a success! The mama took a sniff, then a lick and accepted her new baby!
