Surviving Minnesota!

Oh one more thing. Cows with horns will ALWAYS be bullys. Our tiny Jersey beats up all the giant cows my grandpa has and they are GIANT.

Oh yeah it is bad for them to calve way out in a pasture. My grandpa has never had problem with cows hurting calves but idk what u want to do. It can be best for them to calve without humans unless they are young. They aren't as restless and dont get up and down a bunch of times. But it is fun and we dont really care about that! We always want to watch calves be born. We just dont ever help the cow. I have a feeling we will help our milk cow but that is cuz she is a tiny Jersey bred to a decent sized angus. Anothee thing is Herefords are great calvers. They are so big they rarely have trouble. Herefords were my Great grandpas favorite breed and he raised beautiful registered herefords. They had a heifer that was born on the farm that my great uncle showed when he was a kid and she was so beautiful I was told. Her calves never left the farm they all stayed till he sold off all his cattle. He now passed away but I remember how much he loved his cows. Woah have u ever atarted typing and didnt realize that u got far of subject I just did that... Sorry

Well, BIL's are coming over and we are going to try and get her set up in the barn. I am hoping to just watch the calf be born since I wouldn't have a clue how to help her anyway. I want to make sure momma gets baby dry is my main concern. These are second time calves for these ladies. They are good with us so I am kinda thinking they won't mind us hanging back and watching. They are used to me just standing around forever out there randomly anyway.

Home sweet home! All the hens are tucked in and surviving and we picked up pizza on the way through town. Time to settle in and relax

Rhetts they ussually dont mind watching. They are funny because some of them dont mind an audience and other hate it

@duluthralphie even though I obviously enjoy football, I still agree with you. There is no reason the state should be paying for that stadium. A city, sure, could raise taxes to pay for part of it as they will benefit from it but there is no reason you should be forced to pay for it
