Fwd: Bay Path Cancelled




Hello all,  
 
Please note we do have to cancel this Saturday's event at Bay Path.  There is a virus going around, so it's not a good idea to have a group activity at this point in time.
 
Once the better weather appears, we can discuss another date that works for everyone.
 
Thank you,
Lynne Currul

Cows, goats, sheep, and horses have udders placed in the posterior on their body.
No Muscle holds the udder - the udder is held up by skin and ligaments
