We didn't really like Valiant himself for daughters, but as a sire of sons he did very, very well for us. That Pennsylvania bull was a real winner.

I was cracking up picturing him reading Knolltop Farm Wife's comment to your blog! The bat stories are great - we had a bat in our bedroom one night right after daughter was born (that means I was exhausted). I told husband to deal with it and went to sleep in a small sitting room with door closed. I heard lots 'o noise, and finally husband came in to tell me he got the bat. He was wearing a safari hat and boxer shorts, and wielding a tennis racket. It was really funny! Thanks for the laughs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-21208583750344594632008-12-09T15:38:00.000-05:002008-12-09T15:38:00.000-05:00I love this story...sorry!

Beats the Illinois Gov story all over the radio and internet today. <BR/><BR/>I also understand wanting to keep a favorite animal and being stuck with 'production' problem.

I can ...akagaga, oh boy, yours is better than mine! I can just see them. I sure got my comeuppance over this one as I normally am not bothered at all and the boss is nervous about them. This time though, he rescued me.<BR/><BR/>Melissa, we use a lot of the old bulls. We got a chance to pick up some semen pretty cheap and are experimenting with a couple of breedings. As I said, the boss bought that son of his back when he was in use and the son did amazing things for us. For a little herd like ours to have a homebred, sired by a farm bull grand champion Holstein, even at the fair, was a real high point. So, we are trying to do it again.<BR/><BR/>Apple, oddly enough we had them all the time down in the other house til we cemented up every crack and crevice in the chimney. Here in this big monster place they mostly show up in the barn. Never in the house before...I hope never again too.<BR/><BR/>JB, he was, he was. It felt like a bat out of Hell situation too. Ewwww....<BR/><BR/>Thanks, honey, I love you too and I know had you been home I would not have had to do much about it. Becky stepped into the breach really well though...thank God!<BR/><BR/>Willow Witch, I don't know what it is about flying mammals in the house that sets us off like that, but I was really nervous about the silly thing. It is so dark and spooky here at night, not something I normally even notice, and it kept vanishing only to reappear in a room I hadn't even seen it go into.....threecolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811004278088768813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-33993946178865961362008-12-09T09:52:00.000-05:002008-12-09T09:52:00.000-05:00Sorry, but the bat story is funny..

I remember when we were teen's (hey, that wasn't that long ago) one got in the house and one of my brothers scream's(like a girl)"get a gun" and my father scream's (like a girl)"NO, get a broom" It was like world war III over a bat! I recall just sitting there laughing my butt off at all of them!

My husband and his manly friend told me to just get out of the way, they would handle it. We didn't have ether (and wouldn't have known to use it, anyhow) so their plan was to capture it in a huge bath towel. See this two giants running around the house, waving a bath towel. Then, when it eventually landed on the floor - they were too scared to get close enough to cover it with the towel! I eventually did that, and then scooped it up, towel and all, and threw it out in a snowbank. Don't know what it is about cold weather and bats. Hope you have recovered. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
