Blood Moon and Sunset

Victoria was lucky enough to be able to experience the full eclipse of the moon, and as the timing was right, it was a Blood Moon.

Heifer with “Pinkeye” Patch

Pinkeye (infectious bovine kerato-conjunctivitis, or IBK) is a bacterial infection of the eye that causes inflammation and, in severe cases, temporary or permanent blindness. The infection is treated with penicillin cream, then a patch (in this case from a pair of old denim jeans) is stuck on with a special ultra sticky glue. This patch keeps the sun and flies out, stops the pain and allows the eye to heal.
