We attended the llama clinic in Sauk Rapids today.  Man, it was chilly.  We arrived at 8:30 am and we were done around 4 pm.  It was held at the fairgrounds so there wasn't any heat in the buildings.  I'm still chilled!  The homemade turkey soup I had cooking in the crockpot all day sure tasted good!  We learned a lot about training llamas and now Madison wants to try to halter train Dolly.  First, we have to order a halter for her. And then the real challenge will be catching her and putting the halter on.  I'm not looking forawrd to that.

While Madison and I attended the clinic, Rich headed over to Wyoming, MN to pick up a highlander cow and her 6 month old bull calf.  Apparently, when you pick up cattle, you get 2 free cats in the bargin, lol.  I thought it was a good idea to get a couple of barn cats as we are starting to find mice in the barn.  Unfotunately, the black one took off and I'm not sure where it is.  Hopefully, I'll spot him/her tomorrow.

Caitlin (highlander cow) and calf unloaded easily from the trailer and seem to respect the fence.  Rich rounded them up and showed them the way to the pasture and soon both were chowing away and the fresh grass.  Our poor llamas didn't know what to think.  They just stared.  lol

Well, I'm off to work.
