BYC Café

[pennyJo1960]

Good morning, Cafe. I've brewed another pot of coffee. Late start for me.
Sarge is on his way to his new home and I'm so very happy for the boy. His father was giving me all kinds of attitude when I went into the run. He was flaring his hackles and pecking my boot so he got the ol' "squash and scoop". I held him while Sarge's new owner collected him.
I did not ask any money for Sarge, I just wanted him to go to a good home. But they gave me two gifts for him! A mulled cider scented candle and a lovely red rooster trivet! That was completely unnecessary but much appreciated.

Cute!

How many new babies have you had now Meg? (Well, not you personally )

We're at 18 now, I believe! Sounds like a couple on the way today

My husband said everyone is good so far. We'll have to take the stitches out in a couple days. I will keep you updated!

Meg, is she likely to prolapse on subsequent calvings ?

Apparently, no. It sounds like it's a bit of a crapshoot as far as when and why they do it, unless there is some force (like pulling a calf, for example) or and overly large calf. She's had at least one baby and this one wasn't particularly huge. The vet said she'll probably not prolapse again. I'm not exactly sure what happens, but I'm going to do some research on it.

As I recall not common in cow's and not like us or dogs.. Cows can do it then never have a another one

Around 70. We've got a ways to go yet.

We moved Chewy up to the corrals from the hayfield yesterday, as she should be going soon. Come on red baby

Wow, 70 possible?!? Are you getting any sleep at all?

I get a lot more sleep than my poor husband! As a dirt man, his job is seasonal which is why he wants to calve between January and March (at the latest...but that never happens) The kids are always over helping out with feeding, cleaning, strawing up pens. One is less than a mile from us and the other will come stay once in a while to take a load off his dad and take his turn. It's a group effort, but hubby definitely does the majority of the work! He's crazy, but he loves his girls
