| Waiting...for the "Cow Girls" to calve. EllieMae, on the right, should be first...any day now! I thought it was going to be Annabelle who would calve first, but EllieMae looks much more ready. |
I mentioned the "Cowculator" a couple of posts back...and it's a spreadsheet that I got from Eastern Oregon Agriculture Research Center. I just use the simple part of it...plugged in the average breeding date and it gives me the average calving date, which came up as April 10. But, with a herd of just 2, that gives us a wide range of before or after dates too.

| Watching...things just seem to look better to Bella Jo from the top of the dog houses! I hope she's watchin' for coyotes. |

| Wondering...Stetson is always wonderin' when he's gonna to get his next meal! |
Poor ol` Stetson! (I know what he means!)
ReplyDeleteWe're wondering when spring is coming.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have some decent weather right now; the cows are probably waiting for bad weather to calve out!
ReplyDeletehow cute Bella Joe is on her doghouse! I hope never to have to wonder when my next meal is.
ReplyDeleteI just love that picture of Bella Jo! My blue that I had was a little more solid but I think they are great dogs and I hope to get another one in the future. I also liked the one of Stetson!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Great post, can't wait for the calf pics..:-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome dog. I've always wanted one...but I never buy dogs..I take those that need homes...and I've now cows to herd.
ReplyDeleteSo approximately how many days is a cow preggers?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the baby pics :)
