Sunny and warming. Stan is hauling heifers off to summer camp this morning and the barn swallows are back. There was one sitting on a wire singing at breakfast time. Wonder what they sat on before electrical wires?

We had a calf this week that bled badly from its navel. Stan worked on it, got it stopped and treated it, tubed it with some fresh colostrum. When went out midday to sweep up feed, it was still alive. A little later he went out and it was stretched out dead. Sometimes you just can't save them.

Guess I'll get some seeds planted. It's a little late, but I still have 5 or 6 weeks before planting out time, so it should be fine.
