Three Bubbies!

     A few days ago Eve had a little girl who is named Caligo! =D
     Miss Combobulated calved yesterday with a boy, but it was backwards so he (Estel) had a rough start. Sadly, He died right before lunch.
     A spot of brightness, though, would be that Hope just calved! She had a girl (a first for her!) that is all black, and we are super excited! =D

     Don't worry. I'm not going to do another post like that. =P But we do have three new calves! =D Lewis had an all black boy yesterday, and Worth had another boy later that day. She had a bigger calf so her labor took long and we thought we might have to pull it, but it finally came out! Andoday Abigail calved! An adorable little whiteface!

Well That Was Odd...

     We interrupt this calving season with breaking news from the heifer's pasture. High Rhulain, aged 2, was discovered by Farmer lodged in his bale feeder at 2:51 this afternoon. Not-so-experts say she had been there for some time. Farmer immediately called out the EMS (Emergency Moo-moo Service) who set to work on freeing the cow. A mode of operation was swiftly decided upon and the leader of emergency services broke out the cutting torch, their best hope for freeing the forlorn cow. After cutting through part of the railing around the feeder and the bolts at the corner, the next question was the best way to release the cow. Taking a moment to ponder the swiftest way out, the workers bent down the loosed section of railing. I took very little urging to convince the youthful cow to exit the feeder, which she did by rolling over. A quick assessment by the 'medical' team as she trotted by, was that, apart from a few scrapes, she was just fine.     Reporting live from Kansas, this is Farm Girl, signing off.

It's here!



     Natalie just had it!

Natalie is calving!

     Above, you can see her water bag is out and her tail is up. :D
