We are in the mist of out ET work and AI work. All of what we are doing right now are timed protocols. Yesterday we had to pull CIDR's on recips and the donor had to have shots at 8 a.m. And again at 8p.m. We had over 5 inches of rain yesterday so not a great day to have to work cattle. But when your on a time schedule for ET work you have to get it done no matter what the weather is doing. Today we had to pull CIDR's on a group of AI cows and as luck would have it our new donor had a calf. The boss and Jacob went to get the cows up I went to look at the new calf with the Gilmore Girls.....rut row Houston we have a problem mamma is in labor! Yep twins the second calf was a full breach we went to work got the calf turned got chains around the hind feet and delivered the second calf....dead heifer, good news is the bull calf is really nice and mamma is doing great. The lighting started coming straight down, everyone's phones were sounding alerts just a great day to be out working cattle. So what do we do we get them all worked were not going to let a little Tornado warning stop us! Tomorrow we have to do the same work on the mature cow group and give one more shot to the recips. We flush on 1/10/17 AI on the 5th and 6th then stick a fork in us we are done! The donor cow should be in heat tomorrow so we will be getting her bred in the course of the day as well. The storms are still rolling in lighting is coming straight down but we're done for the day :clap: tomorrow will be super busy but the weather is suppose to be better so that is a blessing.
A friend was flushing today he said they had some nasty weather as well. We are purchasing eggs out of one of their donors, pretty excited to add this cows genetics into the herd. They got 9 eggs so pretty tickled!
