Victory on many fronts in the animal world today at Flat Land Farms! Finally had the first two spring calves - two cute little ladies. I found out
that I was right on with my preg checking. One of them was one that I checked and figured she was about 90 days. I was pretty spot on. Thank
you to YouTube and all of you who said you check your own. All the years I have had cattle and never figured out what I was looking for. Again,
YouTube, ha! That sure could have made the last 35 years less of a guessing game.
Also, this was my second calving with the calf catcher I saw someone here was talking about. I continue to be impressed with how much easier
it is to tag those little babies. Both of these mamas are plenty protective and they just circle the catcher waiting for me to be done. Ok, that
makes it sound like they are playing a round of cards - there were fits thrown but I don't have to worry about them.
Now that someone has broken the seal at each of those two pastures I think there will be lots in short order.
