so both girls seemed to have skipped a heat

Well, both Annie and Coop seemed to have skipped a heat. I did see Walden service Coop successfully, not Annie because she was just a bit too tall but he was trying his very best, so I had an ai done the morning after the standing heat. Why can't cows have a button that you can hit and make them go transparent for a second to see what is going on inside?...of course I am suddenly thinking AB's bag is getting bigger (a friend who was out visiting the first time in a few months actually said before she knew I bred her "did Annie always have an udder...and I can actually see Coops, but of course that is my hopeful imagination since it has been one month both, particularly Coop, seem to have a small swelling in front of the bag...I am such a goof, so excited, but afraid to get my hopes up. need a pee stick test for cows! AB has fooled me before. I must say i like Walden better and better...I know he is just a year old, but such a good natured fellow...

I think I will wait for a second miss then test for pregnancy, the girls are really really good about everything except having blood drawn, for some reason..so slight procrastination on my part
