Cows are actually a funny shade of peach
The cow classifier is coming on Wednesday to classify the cows, funnily enough. So now they have to get the 5 star beauty treatment which is something 99.99% of Australians have probably never heard of! They get clipped, brushed, and their tails washed so they look extremely pretty and hopefully the classifier will share our opinion and make them all Excellents. Ha. Anyway tonight after we finished milking I got out the clippers and a very itchy old sweater of Kurtis' (due to an infestation of cow hair) and went to work. 6.5 cows later (I gave up on Andrea--she's in love with me and she doesn't care who knows it) I wandered back up to the house a lot itchier than when I started and the cows now have extra bedding in their stalls in the form of clumps of fur and instead of looking white and black like a normal cow, they're all a funny shade of peach. The classifier better appreciate this. The highlight of my day (besides sleeping in until 8am if you can call that sleeping in) was that Celina was sold very early this morning. I'm happy, Kurtis is happy, and believe it or not all the other cows were ecstatic when she left. She was manic and not well-liked among the herd. I've only been barracking for her sale for the last 8 months so victory is finally mine!!!!!!!!

FYI the classifer was very impressed with Kurtis' cows. She classified 2 as Very Good 2 year olds and put Mona as Excellent 92 and gave an extra point here and there to some of the other cows. She only made Jiggle a Good Plus 80 which is when I threatened her with my pitchfork.
