Baby watch hopefully
Maggie has isolated her self from the fold. So hopefully we will have a baby heifer soon

Actually she is almost in the same exact spot where she delivered last year.

Lets hope this is not a false alarm!

My missy is doing that wobbly spraddle in the back walk and is acting very restless, plus her udder blew up yesterday. Hopefully we celebrate a calf birthday today!

Mine also seems to have changed her mind... this stinks. My kiddos really want to see the birth, so we keep hoping she's not going to pull a late nighter and we miss it...

To get a more accurate due date. We wait for the calf to turn around mom looks like she swallowed a football sideways. Then looks normal again, And 8 weeks plus or minus a day for us.

Thanks. Maggie did look like a she had swallowed a football now she is back to normal again.

Ugh, she just went back to normal a about a week ago. You mean it could be 2 more months.
