Nice cow Jovid. Too early to tell on the calf ;-)

That is a nice looking cow and calf looks like it has a lot of vigor. She's got the Ritz Carlton of calving pens there, hope mine don't see those accomodations, they might want some too.

Thanks

Ours normally don't get those nice accomodations either. We had over two inches of rain yesterday and when I checked on them the calving lot was standing in water. With her tail straight out and she was circling looking at the ground I knew it was time so I put her in under the shed. It is open to the south but it got her out of the mud. Once there she had the calf in less than 15 minutes.

anyone whos been around calves knows there's nothing more frustrating than looking at a calf looking for the teats, and *nearly* getting them for an hour...

Looks good!
