A couple days ago I went with Redbeard out to the field by our house to visit the cows. These cows are going to be new mommies very soon. They met their perfect match in May and now is the time for the cute babies to arrive! I can't wait to get out and take pictures of the new bundles of joy! So what do cows do while they are waiting to have a calf? They eat, drink, and wait. I caught a few pictures of them that I wanted to share.

As you can tell, the cold weather and snow hasn't gotten them down. Now the weather is going to be nice for about a week. It would be a good time for them to have their babies. (Hint, hint cows) My good friend Sarah Jane at The Bos Lady wrote about cows and snow. They can learn to eat snow as a water source in a matter of days! Amazing! If you want to learn more you can check out her blog post, Snow As a Water Source.
That is all for now from the Moo-ternity Ward. :)
I never liked roast beef. I thought it was bland and stringy. After having my own freezer of beef, I realized roast is a large portion of animal. Basically, I was forced to find a desirable recipe for roast. I combined my mom's and Redbeard's meat preparation secrets and made my own!
Start with a thawed out roast. Rub my
(Almost) World Famous Seasoning on it and put in a ziplock bag. Add Italian dressing to the bag and seal. Let sit in the refrigerator over night. The next morning cover the bottom with Italian dressing and place the roast and all marinate in a crockpot on low for the whole day. The roast will be ready for supper that evening.
I forgot to take pictures while it was cooking, but I assure you it was yummy!
