Farmers Market was fun! Did not sell as much as I thought, because the foot traffic was small. I was told the people will come with the warmer weather. I did meet some wonderful people buying and selling. Great place to get great products. Maybe I will see some of you there.

NEW COW IS SICK
One of our new Jersey cows is sick. After she gave birth to her calf, we noticed a cut on one side of her udder and it looked infected. The vet examined her and stated that the cut had been there awhile and had never completely healed. The only option to getting her well was to shoot Iodine into the 1/4 udder and kill the chamber. We did this and now are doctoring the wound with Iodine diluted spray and only milking the remaining 3/4. We are not able to drink her milk until the iodine treatment is over. Today she did not have a fever and her milk production is increasing.
We also purchased a Guernsey cow that is due to have a calf in June. She is beautiful. I will have to post some pictures of her later.
Went to Leavenworth today to deliver soap to two stores and to buy chickens. We bought 82 Sexlink Chicks. They are just getting their feathers. We are in great need for eggs, so in a short while we should have plenty.
Tomorrow is the big day. FARMERS MARKET IN TOPEKA. Getting up early and will be there all morning. Come by and see me.
