Which I'm getting to as fast as I can, ain't I? I know everyone is anxious about what's going on.
Almost had our 100th Jersey yesterday. Sonata calved a week early out in the pasture with a heifer calf. Brought 'em in, fed the calf. Bingo. Out popped a bull calf. Bad news. When heifer calves and bull calves are twins, the heifer calf has an undeveloped reproductive tract, making her useless for what we do here, which is make milk. We were at 100 jerseys for a few days last week, but Munch got to be annoying so we said goodby to her. No chance for 100 again for a couple weeks.
It finally rained for a couple of days, greening up the pastures and reducing the likelihood of having to keep the goldanged cows inside. I hate inside cows. When they're inside, they own ya.
Production dropped 15% in the heat a few weeks ago, and has rebounded a bit. We're not where we want to be, but very rarely are we.

Not since 1955! And next year, of course.
Also, when you do get the 100th Jersey, name her Hundred Grand, or Dollar, or just be like the Romans and use C.
How about "Triple Digits"?
"Triple Digits" won't fit on an ear tag. I like Dollar. Fits in with the general theme. Or what about "C-Note"? That fits in nicely, too.
