I’ve been watching Marla wondering if she would have her calf near the same time as last year. Well she was one day early. This little heifer was born on Saturday the 26th and last years little bull was born on the 27th.
This was Saturday afternoon. She was still wet and I didn’t know if she was a bull or heifer yet.
By Sunday afternoon Marla had brought her up to the barn and I was able to check her out. Marla wasn’t very happy with me handling the calf. She growls, kicks dirt and tries to get in the way but she doesn’t fight me.
Now we wait to see if Olive follows last year as well. If so she will give us another calf close to Dec 5th.
One last note. WE GOT RAIN!! It’s been 3 months since we have gotten any rain to speak of. We are expecting more rain tonight. I have 5 sacks of grass seed that I’ve been waiting to spread.
