How about your calving season so far? These premises insured by a Sheltie in Training ,--- and Cooey.o "May the Good Lord take a likin' to you"

Got up the next morning Winnie the Moo had hers and we were done. Can you tell the grandkids named one and their dad named the other?

Said he's got 11 more to go of 96. Only lost two this year, so far. Laws aren't preventative measures. In other words, more laws won't prevent gun crime from happening.

Knock on wood we might be ahead on the cows, picked up a couple little bum calves that I assume were twins that nursed at birth and were then rejected. Bottle calf is $400. Haven't found any dead calves or scrap piles so far this year. But we did lose 3 calves and a heifer while calving out bred heifers. Just a run of bad luck there, pulled a couple dead calves. Big damn calves in the middle of the night. But I guess we pulled a few more live ones so can't whine too much. Couple days ago. Notice the open cow right out front with the hair rubbed off her ass. Light belly, no bag...

rockinbbar Campfire Kahuna Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 69,680 Likes: 22 Not In The City	Originally Posted by wabigoon Our first twins today. Mama is a bit hostile. Check to see if one is a heifer calf. Had a neighbor's cow that had twins a couple years ago. One was a bull calf, and mama took it fine, but kicked off the heifer. They raised it anyway. I told them the heifer would be sterile, but they kept it anyway. (Freemartin) His wife wouldn't sell a calf she'd bottle raised.... LOL. Yeah, they are that type of "rancher"... Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla!
