[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 648009, member: 9096"] Well, I guess it's time for an update, the cow that was dry after calving, well, I decided to exile her back to the corral away from her calf, meanwhile, we had a cow abort a set of twins, her 3rd set of twins in a row, only one of which she's successfully raised, HELP US GET RID OF HER!!, last year she adopted a calf, and this year, she's adopted the calf from the dry cow, every year she retains the placenta, every year she gets boluses, oxytocin, etc, and she's unredictable, every time you go near her, you have to feel her out, sometimes she's docile as a lamb, other times she'll try and run you over (I always carry a 3/4" breaker bar with me around her as a attitude adjustment device in need be) this cow just screws up every year, and every year she saves her skin by doing something right, like adopting a calf... Meanwhile, my "horse" Tizia still hasn't calved, she looks like she's about to explode, I measured her "waistline"... anyone here who thinks they need to lose weight, can look at her and feel slim,.. it was 128" waist... take a look at the picture of me riding her which was what... a month ago? look at the following picture taken yesterday [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v153/Rx7man/IMG_2392lq.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v153/Rx7man/Moo/IMG_2722.jpg[/img] can anyone tell me when she should pop? it's getting annoying to get up at 3 am to look at her chewing cud.. BTW, I'm not feeding her a lot, she gets about 1/4 bale a day, and maybe a pound of grain, since I don't think there's a heck of a lot of room for stomach in there... she's always been the beerbelly type, but at the rate this is going, I'm worried might end up with a pair of 100lb twins... looking at our breeding calendar, we have a questionmark of her being bred Aug 5th.. which would mean another 10 days... which I think is hard to imagine... On some other notes, her sister is the lean leggy type, with a small udder and teats, she's raising a beautiful steer, he's about 5 weeks old and I'm fairly sure picking him up wouldn't be healthy for my back..
