[QUOTE="Alan, post: 351727, member: 378"] Just when I thought I was getting the hang of things and on my way to being a real cattleman, I was shoved back into the ranks "wantabe newbie". I knew I had a first time heifer ready to calve yesterday, tail head up, she was off by herself all day, not a lot of attention to feed, she was paying a lot of attention to her belly, her butt was mush. I checked her for the last time at about 10 last night, still nothing. I got up at about 5:30 this morning and light enough at 6 to see a little calf in the lower corner wobbling around. This first time heifer is good enough stock I was excited to go down and check to see if I got a potential replacement heifer. As I walked through the pasture the closer I got I reallized this was a calf out of one of my older cows, her fourth bull calf out of 4. I knew this heifer must be close or have a calf on the ground so I search the pasture couldn't find her. Decided to check at the feed bunk.... yep, not a care in the world and a face full of hay ..... I'll never be a cattleman :( :D Just a wantabe's life this morning, Calving season has started! :D Alan [/QUOTE]
