Little of Everything

Today was a whirlwind of a day. Rob was in back to back meetings, so I took the helm at the farm. We started with a septic holding tank ground deployment for Senior's rig. Then, the county people dug up the driveway to put the new culvert in, but managed to cut through a telephone line, so now we have to go off roading until it's fixed. It wasn't our phone line, but the neighbors might not like us much. 

Then our builder came by and I helped him cordon off the land! We're finally starting to get things going. After that, we had to go run errands before picking up Bobby Sue. She's a beauty of a Ford 2000 tractor that's been rebuilt and repainted. While the tractor was delivered, I managed to make a deal to trade our junked out mule (the one bought at auction that died) for a shredder attachment for our tractor. Not bad for a day's work. 

As for Fergus, he moves a little at a time and has gotten himself back in the barn. He's considered an "alert downer" which means he's not bloated and that he's eating and drinking well. We bought him some better feed today with lots of vitamins, so we'll see if it works. We'll still be taking him to the vet, but I'm hoping by his own four feet and not us somehow lifting him there.
