We drove down to Buckley to pick him up and bring him home in our livestock trailer. Here he is looking out of the trailer window.
He is a Highland bull we are going to use to breed Marji, our Dexter cow. Here they are meeting for the first time.
And here are a couple of photos just of Rowdy. He is gorgeous.
Injury Update: My hand continues to swell, and I am worthless from all the Benadryl I am taking. Hopefully tomorrow I will be more functional.
Wow, he is one HANDSOME DUDE! & I love his blondness 🙂
i”m having trouble with atrial flutter again. I see Dr. Ferrara on Tuesday, he is a cardiophysioligist (or something like that – kind of like a cardiac electrician, said the Nurse Practitioner I spent the afternoon with yesterday) That is to explore doing a cardio ablation to fix the issue rather than the cardio version, which just fixes it until the next time it happens. So annoying. Sorry to read about your hand – those bees sure do a number on you!! Hope it’s better by now. T.
Thanks Tina! Good luck with your cardiophysiologist. I hope he can fix your atrial fib. My hand is still getting worse and I have slept most of the weekend on Benadryls.
And what a gentleman Rowdy is! If that was one of my bucks being introduced to a doe, they’d be all over her. I really like the looks of Highland cattle anyway, but he’s especially handsome too.
Sorry to hear about your bee stings. Stings can be very painful I read somewhere about yarrow salve for bee stings and made some just in case.
Thanks Leigh! He is a gentleman and so far does not live up to his name. I will have to make some yarrow salve too then.
Please let me know if it works. I’ve only gotten stung once and that was before I made it. It just sounded like a good thing to have around!
I do not think I will try it this time as I am 2 days into it. I was thinking for next time.
Understood. I meant in the future if it ever happens again.
What an extraordinary looking bull!
Thanks Cecilia! We agree!
