9:00 am- Sunny 45F, No one acting like they are close to calving.
12:30 pm- Partly Cloudy 54F, Just finished blading ruts in the pasture, and cleaning around the bale rings, except a few ruts in a really wet area. Still no one showing signs.
2:30 pm- Just started to drizzle 52F, Look out at the cows from the fence, and everyone seemed fine, no one acting funny.
5:30 pm- Rained about .5" 47F, Get home from working a feed line. See a cow laying in the only rut left on the whole farm, with a little red bull calf laying next to her, covered in mud. Proceed to carry wet, muddy calf to barn, with cow following
7:30 pm- Still raining 42F, Calf has had a bath, bottle, and is laying under his heat lamp. Cow eating hay.






Moral of the story:
When blading ruts, blade all of the ruts.
