[QUOTE="Lannie, post: 1771581, member: 8202"] I hadn't called the neighbor to find out, not wanting to be a pest, first and foremost, but also we had a nasty little snowstorm on Monday, like a snow-squall that lasted all morning, and I figured the vet wouldn't have come out all this way in it. But she did. Anyway, the neighbor called last night to say that Molly IS pregnant, YAY! (I knew she would be, the little tramp!) Anyway, we're expecting a larger snowstorm starting tonight and going through tomorrow night, with anywhere from 4 inches to a foot of snow (depending on who's forecast you look at), so Molly will stay over there with the neighbor's bunch until after everything clears. If we get more than a couple inches of snow, Rich will have to take the Bobcat out and clear the whole area near the cow barn so there's room for a truck and trailer to get in there and turn around. I don't want the neighbor trying to slog through a bunch of snow any more than she wants to, LOL! It's no rush. She'll be here when she gets here. Yesterday when I was doing the last of the winter preps, I "dusted" (swept all the cobwebs) the cow barn, got the trough filled and plugged in so it won't freeze, and put fresh shavings down, so it's ready for the girls whenever they get here. We have plenty of hay still, but now that there will be another heifer to feed, my husband called our hay guy, just in case we need a top-off in late winter or early spring, and found out he saved us back a whole barn load in case we needed it. 18 large squares. What an angel! He told us to just call when we get to the end of what we have now, and he'll bring it over. It will feel really good to not have to worry if I'm going to run short before the pastures come in. Then I just have to wait until May for Molly to calve. We have lead training still to do, so I won't be bored, LOL! However, I have a feeling I'll just be letting her get used to being back home again for a while. I bet she's gonna be happy to get her treats again, ya think? She LOVES that alfalfa pellet mash, and she hasn't had any all summer. She was in pretty poor shape when she got here last April (scraggly coat and very thin), but she looked a lot better the last time I saw her, and the neighbor says she's in fine condition now, so I hope she doesn't suffer too much from the impending cold and snow. I'd feel better if she had her own cozy barn to snuggle into during the storm, but I suppose she has a gaggle of fellow heifers to snuggle into, so that will work. I'm sure her winter coat is well started by now. And that's the Molly Report. :) [/QUOTE]
