.....Who, through long days of labor, And nights devoid of ease, Still heard in his soul the music Of wonderful melodies.....(Longfellow)
Well thot I would check in and update you on farm progress. We've been having calves from our heifers on the CrankySteer property just outside of town. Had to pull one last night. Today we had another one. I took a picture, but I can't find the camera right now.
Just got back from checking them here again at 10:00 pm. We have another one in labor. I'll have to check her every two hours tonight.
Our usual schedule is every 6 hours. Usually at 12:00 am, 6:00 am, 12:00 pm 6:00 pm. That is unless one is in labor. Then its every 2-3 hours. If active labor then every 1/2 hour to 15 minutes and wait in the pickup. If they are crowning, we stay on scene until we have a baby.
I think this schedule is pretty standard, however it gets a little overwhelming when these cattle are 5 miles away.
Next time, all the girls will be here at the house in a pen out back.
