Hereford heifer - update

[vbd]

Carried our hereford heifer (19 months old) back to the vet yesterday for a follow-up...she is 3-3 1/2 months bred and doing well, although the vet did mention she was a bit vertically challenged (short) ;-). I then went and weighed her...now 980 lbs, a gain of 140 lbs from Dec. 16th for an ADG of 1.8, if I did the math correctly.

Nothin to do now but wait...and watch...and wait...and watch.

If it isn't readily obvious, this will be my first and I am excited. If all goes as planned, this will be the first baby on this place that Alice or I did not have to get up and make a bottle for...yehaaaaaa. :lol:

I know all ya'll were just dying to know all that!

Then you are in for a real treat! Nothing greater than seeing a new baby snuggle up to mom for a meal and knowing that food is available 24/7. I think it's amazing that you all do so well with your bottle babies...your experience with them and advice have helped a lot of people on these boards.
