[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 649082, member: 9096"] well, she finally exploded, at 7 am she had a nice bull calf at her side... threw him on the scale, 140 lbs... he hadn't sucked yet, but was an hour or two old, had no trouble standing, but his knuckles are a little bit kinked, which will surely work itself out with some time and playing. he needed very little help finding the teats, at which point a hand, a knee, a teat, anything was fair game to suck on. if we had our way, we would rather have all 80 lb calves, that's a nice size, but breeding at 2 years makes it so this bull is OK for us, I don't even think this was too hard a birth.. it's the first time we've had a calf over 120 lbs survives, and by the looks of it this one is just dandy... now we just have a couple stragglers to deal with [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v153/Rx7man/Moo/IMG_2787.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v153/Rx7man/Moo/IMG_2779.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v153/Rx7man/Moo/IMG_2793adj.jpg[/img] And here's Maddy having some fun [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v153/Rx7man/Moo/IMG_2642crop.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
