3 days ago we sorted the heavy heifers off to start watching them. They're due about Mar 4, and there's about 30 synched to start then. Mostly, we sorted them already, because we want to get them used to being walked through, and to be on the safe side as the weather's quite cold right now. Didn't really expect any calves quite this early. The heifers (same plan) last year waited til Feb 27.
Well, of course, nobody obviously told them the game plan, as we came home from helping a friend Scour Bos his cows on Feb 20, and when I went out to have a walk after dark.... I found this....
He was a little chilled, but warmed up rather quickly, sucked a bottle, and was back with mama by midnight.
And then yesterday...We came home from doing our cows and found another one.... This one was up looking for a suck, but he got a trip to the barn too, and they're enjoying the good life right now, no hurry to move them out quite yet...
