Have you determined yet if they are 'mature' brain cells or just old? lol :D

I love that calf! He is so cute with his 'boots'! I hope you are able to tell what's living in him and evict it, rather I hope there is nothing bad in there (if I am going to hope for you, I should do it right!) I have to drive my cow and calf to the vet in order to get her seen. ( I need more...

That's great! It feels good to see them so excited, doesn't it? Really makes all the hard work of fencing and clearing pay right off. Now, next time bring the video camera, I could use a dose of funniest home video's- farm edition!

My computer died while I was trying to do this yesterday, urgh! But here is our new heifer! born yesterday after a very quick labor. I was able to take picture and a video before the camera battery died. She weighs about 50 pounds and is 3/4 jersey. We still have to come up with a good name...

It's so fluffy, I could DIE!!! :th

I love it! They look like some happy campers.

Hooray! So glad it went well, congratulations! :bun

Isn't this fun!? Farmerboy, we're kinda like heifer twins! Is this your first time having a milk cow? If it is, although your girl has more white, we are both waiting for calves and have cute dairy crosses for our little farms! I really love your girls star on her fore head, so cute. Do...

Wheew! I don't know nuttin yet but I'll get there. The way she still runs around I thought she hurt herself. Thanks for your reassurance, my "cow mentor" is not back until next Monday. I guess Kjersten doesn't know she should wait for him!

I noticed right away this morning that my heifer has fluid by her belly button. I can't tell though if it is just edema or a hernia, is it possible that it could be a hernia?

I am pretty relaxed but I also had to work all weekend, so I was half expecting to come home to a baby. I don't want to lock her unless it is terrible weather, they were talking snow, yuck! Her barn is pretty big and all hers, I always let her come and go. I will start shutting her in the...

I also got some CMPK gel to give before and after. I was under the impression I should give it to her within 24 hours of delivery but that is kinda hard to figure out. I thought I might give it to her after she gets kind of out of it (I mean thinking hard about her labor) Or should I just wait...

Sort of a false alarm, which is a good thing because I have been down with the stomach flu since Thurs morn. Her back is starting to sink down around the hips and and she seems a little grumpy, she is still readily eating and doing her cow stuff so maybe she is going to wait for the crappy...

Well, I think I am getting to see what you all mean about the 'changes' that happen. I walked into the barn this afternoon and Kjersten (my Heifer) had a weird look on her face and looked like she was breathing fast. Her girly parts are now, not just swollen, but jiggly and totally puffed...

What of the leg issue? Just curious.
