[QUOTE="Lannie, post: 1769491, member: 8202"] Molly will be home soon, yay! WITH a little friend! The neighbor updated me yesterday on the situation, and said the herd was moved successfully to their north ranch (winter pastures) and the vet will be out on November 7th to preg check everyone, including Molly, and since Molly seems to want bovine company, the neighbor offered to loan us a yearling freemartin heifer for the winter and spring, so Molly would have some cow company until she calves. She said she'd bring them over a day or two after the preg checks are done. I have plenty of hay, so feed's not a problem, and I'd rather feed an extra mouth for a while until Molly gets settled back in. Horus will be happy to have cow friends again, too. He's been so lonesome since Molly left. And then, after she calves, I hope we have no more problems with Molly trying to run off and join the neighbor's herd. I'm over-dramatizing a bit, just because I was so surprised. I mean, OK, she was in heat. She jumped the fence. Happens all the time, especially with teenagers. Sheesh, we'll get past this. A year from now it will just be a funny story, haha! I'll keep her first calf, so even after the loaner goes back, she'll have some bovine company. When she has her second calf, I'll decide the fate of her first calf (as in, to the butcher if it's a steer, or go ahead and keep if it's a heifer). So things seem to be looking up on the cow front. :) It's about time SOMETHING goes right around here. [/QUOTE]
