Our first week into calving...
8 cows have calved so far
5 bull and 3 heifer calves.
These are the calving grounds
Just across the river is our place.
See the red barn?
To the left of the barn is a little yellow building...
that is the Thread Shed
The cow boss is in the center of the photo...
he is herding a cow over to the calving barn.
She has been laboring all day
and not making any progress...
We will put her in the barn
and see if her calf is hung up?
We pulled her calf.....a healthy heifer calf.
Mother and baby are doing fine!
When we came out of the barn
the moon was out:
It was a beautiful drive back across the river
to home.

I miss the farm, but I don't miss pulling calves! Congrats on the healthy baby. :)
