Since it was so nice out I just HAD to get outside and here is the result.

The daughters cow. Easy to pick out of the herd.

Do you think this girl could be expecting ;-)

A 2 year old. Gelbveih x Shorthorn

My avatar heifer grown up some more

It is tough when you can't get near them eh??

And I thought cows didn't bite. Wonder what it tastes like??

Does this mean it tastes good oooooor bad :cboy:

Thanks for the pics, it's about 55 where I'm at. That would be warm enough for y'all to go swimming. :lol:

Is the 2 yr old gelv/shorthorn expecting in spring?

I have some coming 2 yr olds gelv/angus that look a lot like her.

I call her a tank, but you are right I don't think she'll fit down the chute right now. She is due on the 5th of March. Think she might be early as she is showing now, and she isn't one to waste any time.

Yes she is. Bred Red Angus for Mar 1. She's bagging, but I think she will be a little later. She is out of a Shorthorn cow and Gelbv bull. I think she looks a lot like a straight Red Angus. Think chances are pretty good that it will be a solid red calf ;-)

You mean they make thermometers that go all the way up tp 55 degrees.

Thanks for sharing the pics. I too have a huge heifer. She's making me a little nervous. I AI'd her to a proven heifer bull and I just keep watching her get larger and larger. If there isn't triplets I will be surprised.

She probably is just full of fluids. We have seen that before, and then they just seem to "pee" (for lack of a better word) out a ton of fluids after the calf is born. Better that than twins out of a heifer anyways.

Actually we are up above freezing for the last few days, and it is supposed to stay around that for the next week anyways. Pretty nice weather for us ;-) We will get some of that 100 degree weather in Jun-August too I'm sure.

Alice, you are welcome. Just wait a week or so and I will be posting baby pictures. Should have some cuties!! I can't wait, since we had 3 new bulls last year, and one was my Shorthorn. I am pretty excited to see those new babies ;-)

Joy, what kind of paste did you find? Just curious, and I am glad that it worked for you. Gotta be a little careful with it, the odd calf will bleed. Don't know if they do because you happen to put just a little too much on or if they just have more circulation to the horns than most calves do. I have only had 1 ever do it, but it was difficult to get it stopped.

She looks like she may pop at any time now, I have 2 char heifers that were turned in with the bull on the same date as my other heifers that calved Nov 1-4 2006 and I thought they were both open. I did the blood test and they both came back positive and they both look like your cow. I hope any day.

Randi is probably right. I had a heifer that looked like that calve last Friday. I was so sure it was twins that I had a cow that had lost a breech calf earlier on stand-by just in case. Anyway, when she stood up and wheeled around to lick the calf it looked like one of those Gatorade showers they give the winning coach.

Just make sure YOU stay out of shower range ;-)
