Sea of mud here as well. They have two hoop barns for storing round bales. One is now empty. Given the grandsons are off, they have stalled off the one hoop barn. Run the momma's in and pen 'em when they get close. Turn 'em out after a couple days when the calf is up and going strong.

They had one live birth a few weeks back, out on the hillside, in the mud. Cow and calf doing fine. Momma cleaning up the baby. They left, came back a couple hours later. Black headed buzzards had run the cow off the calf and killed the calf. They've not noticed any issue with the black headed buzzards in the hoop barn.
