Dropped our first one on the ground early this morning. Nice and healthy - pretty sure it's from the neighbors bull that got in with ours for about a week unnoticed. We aren't expecting full on for another two weeks.

Congrats on starting - but, look for a 2nd calf. Early calving is mostly with twins.

Not that kind of running buddy.
I used to run at least a couple miles a day . When the odometer rolled a 5 on the front number back and knees were saying no more. I still walk a couple a day.

Good for you!!! I am very active, but NEVER was a "runner". I do RUN on occasion, after cattle!!

Yeah, cattle do make you run once in a while. Luckily it happens just when have to lead them to the new pasture. However, nothing makes you a better runner than sheep... And when you've to move them in and out of the barn every morning and evening...
Good luck with your calving season everybody!
