I always loving reading about your calves.....Julia,<br />I always loving reading about your calves...so sad that the one died. I have never had much luck making anything with yeast....I've either got my water too hot or too cold....I haven't tried in several years and I have more patience than I used to, so perhaps I'll give it a try once again this winter.<br />Thanks for reminding me about taking off the anonymous button....I did that this morning.<br />Cheers!Tammy Burkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11693566894522334908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-44907647149099224952012-11-03T10:23:52.940-03:002012-11-03T10:23:52.940-03:00I loved this post!

If I ever get back to New Brunswick, I would love to visit your place, see your calves and kitties, and eat some of your delicious bread. You are amazing!<br />xo<br />dulcydulcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03968739115493352579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-14067501045372611222012-11-03T09:23:59.635-03:002012-11-03T09:23:59.635-03:00Julia...you are a wonder!

All you need now is a staff of sous chefs to clean up afterward.<br />Seriously, the bread looks really good!<br /><br />I hope the calving season soon slows up for you. Nursing the sick ones seems like a full-time job. I know we dread the cold weather, but I didn't know that it was better for the health of the calves.<br /><br />It's good of you to post with all the other work you have to do.

Sorry you lost the bull calf, but glad to know it wasn't the vaccine. That would be a huge frustration.

I'm glad it turned out. <br /><br />Your calving stories take me back to our dairy cows days.

Well? as someone who doesn't do calving or baking or much of anything but eat ... your bread looked wonderful.<br /><br />lemon zest. lemon is favorite for anything. Remember my lemon zinger cookie addiction in Sequim? <br /><br />I don't think I've ever had bread with lemon zest baked into it. As a desert ... I have warmed a slice of sourdough or ciabatta and poured a bit of melted butter and squeezed lemon ... goood <br /><br />thats about it for my skill as a cook.<br /><br />Well? then your estrogen blockers will soon no longer work? With all the technnology isn't there a replacement? of course blocking it naturally ... would be desirable ... interesting ... soy produces estrogen? or ... scary stuff, Julia. not to you obviously because you've got everything well at hand but ... soy? jeeeez I... I never knew gluten was bad ... <br /><br />EVERYTHING's bad for us ... it's a wonder we're not all teenage mutant turtles! with all athe additives and chemicals in our food... GMO's ...<br /><br />I can't read the parts about your calves being born and dying. I just sorta scan those ... takes special people to run a farm... ;)Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03663919207326700505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-51933175324422739062012-11-02T23:34:19.004-03:002012-11-02T23:34:19.004-03:00well first you made me laugh from the word friggin...well first you made me laugh from the word friggin it was said in my family all the time.

You are doing exactly what you are supposed to do just like I'm doing exactly what I'm supposed to do. I learn a little at a time about caring for calves.<br />JBJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-44565134442983124952012-11-02T22:43:25.652-03:002012-11-02T22:43:25.652-03:00Debby, the nasty C is Cancer. I had breast cancer ...Debby, the nasty C is Cancer. I had breast cancer that was estrogen receptive, meaning that estrogen fed my cancer and made it grow. My estrogen blocker pills will soon become ineffective so I have to make sure that I don't eat anything with soy or soy by-products in it or flax for the rest of my life. <br /><br />There is soy or soy by-product in about everything we eat that is manufactured.<br /><br />For example, chocolate chips, chocolate bars, some ice cream and even the cones, bread, crackers, soup, peanut butter, some brands of spaghetti and spaghetti sauce, Stove top, salad dressings , french Fries , processed meats , sausages and the list goes on and on. I have to read all the labels. I even found some brands of beans with soy by-products in it.<br />I'm loosing weight because I have to pass on a lot of food that I used to eat and never knew that it was enhanced with soy. I'm working slowly on increasing the number of products that are soy free that I can eat but it's very time consuming. <br />JB<br /><br />I hope that this answers your question<br />Hugs., JBJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-64500907907864857992012-11-02T22:26:31.788-03:002012-11-02T22:26:31.788-03:00How do you do all of this.

You can't have the soy because of C ? I don't understand. I can't have gluten because of Celiac. I cheated and had a roll a couple nights ago.....not smart at all. I paid the price.

On the hot summer days it's more difficult to catch them in heat to breed them and our herd was dwindling and my husband was feverishly trying to catch every cow he could. <br /><br />Also Big Boy, the bull that I raised from calf has already sired many of my calves and has made a big difference to increase our herd. The breeder has to be called before 10:00Am and sometimes it's late by the time he come around as he has a large territory to cover. Sometimes the cow has passed her heat by the time he shoes up. The bull is the perfect heat detector. He is huge now and I would never go in his pen.<br />JBJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-58728502129252375242012-11-02T22:16:47.122-03:002012-11-02T22:16:47.122-03:00Lets see Julia,You help cows give birth.
