Wait, you can brush them too? I've just been petting whoever walks up to me and calling it good, so my barn is basically a house full of roommates I never talk to. One of my cows probably thinks her name is "hey you" at this point. Hearing that 250 days is the goal makes me want to go apologize to every animal on my farm one by one. My sheep are probably making up stories about me to the chickens. Did brushing actually raise their hearts faster or is that just for looks?

Did you check if that corner has a drain or gutter that dumps water there? Sometimes the pad is fine and the ground underneath is just getting soaked from somewhere uphill.

worth $1,100" from a dealer on the spot is usually the retail price, not what they'd actually pay you. They'd probably offer half that or less if you tried to sell. Still a cool find though, misprints are the fun part of digging through old albums.
