Well today is our anniversary and we had 24 heifers that needed to be branded. So about noon we went out to brand those heifers. My wife was pushing the heifers and I was running the chute. On about heifer number 11 the heifer gave the wife a full facial of fresh cow...... well it was fresh from the cow. And when I say fall facial that is exactly what I mean. She had to go to the house to wash her glasses. She is pretty much blind without the glasses. And at that point she was pretty much blind with them. Being the trooper she is she was back to finish the job in just a couple minutes. The things she has to put up with hanging out with me. I told her it was a anniversary present for the cows. She replied that it was the shittyest gift she had ever received. I wish I would have had a camera to click a picture. She has been around cows all her life and far from the first time to get spattered but she said it was by far the worse. And she also said that she really didn't care for the taste of it.
Not being a complete idiot I took her out to dinner at the best steak house in a hundred miles or more in any direction. If you are ever in Baker County go to the tiny town of Haines. It is pretty easy to find the Haines steak house. Great food. Great service.
