We have, within the last three days, added three new members to our herd.
The first one arrived on Monday. He is our new bull which we 1/2 own. We'll have him for 6 months. He is two years old (I'm pretty sure..) and 1/2 Angus 1/2 Simmental. He's a big dude. My mom has already named him Simon. :lol:
The next two additions arrived early this morning and what a surprise they were! So I think maybe a month or two ago, I was talking about one of our cows was still pregnant (and HUGE! :shock and was limping on a leg. So we locked her up so she could rest and eventually the leg got better enough to let her out. By December 1 she had still not had her calf, and I was worried it wasn't in there correctly. Our neighbor calls yesterday and says he thinks one of our cows is having a baby and having trouble :shock:. She wasn't though but we locked her back up again.
This morning my uncle goes down there and sends this text to my dad:
"Assumed they nursed." :think:
It took a while for me to get what he meant.
I am really happy and it's very exciting. I think they're bulls. Not sure what we'll do with the mom as she was a little prolapsed. Time will tell though.
Psst, look where the mom is looking ^u^
And then the look of confusion. :rofl:
