Not really, I mean yeah they lose a little rumen fluid when it gets collected but it doesn't bother them. Like I said, they're some of the best cared for cattle around (they're certainly worth more than your average dairy cow)

Time flies when you're having fun, right?
I've been having lots and lots of fun with the heifers lately. They're actually getting to be fairly well behaved. Here's me and '63 "The cute one"

Last weekend was Cornell & Ithaca College's Relay for Life. My team raised over $2200. I'm really proud of them and I had a great time too!

I've also been sledding a bit more lately, though more notably, I built my first snowman with my friends!

And here's a quick picture of me with one of the PE horses, Fifi. I take an equestrian PE class here every Friday. I've already fulfilled my 2 semester PE requirement, but I really love it and it doesn't hurt to get some exercise in.

1 month later and it's update time again!
I'll be showing dairy goats in our student livestock show on Saturday. I chose my goat today and I have pictures for you!
She really liked the camera, I think she wanted to see if it was edible.

and lastly, a super cute squirrel!

I'm pretty exhausted after putting in two full days at the barn, but the Livestock Show went really well!
My goat and I took first out of six in our class of first-time goat showmen. This was one of the best weekends I've had in a while and it's not even over yet!

I know that posts are nothing without pictures, so here are the pictures.

A <12 hour old beef calf that was at the teaching barn for the beef class, which I'm not in, but I enjoy stalking their cattle anyway.
