I was setting some new cedar posts in concrete for a new gate when something caught my attention. I turned to see Rosie washing Hanks ear. Hank is our ¾ KuneKune boar. She went on to wash his face until he decided she wasn’t going to let him sleep and got up and walked away. Rosie is the one who took up with the piglet last spring.
I thought she would have had her calf already but still nothing. The calf is still kicking and her bag is showing sign of filling up but still nothing. Granted I have limited experience with cattle but I haven’t seen a goat or cow start to drop their milk long before they deliver. They always let down their milk just before or right after delivering. I can’t believe it will be much longer but then again I said the same thing a couple of weeks ago.
The pig in the front is one our last two registered guilt’s.
