The 1st Calf Heifers are looking HEAVY
Translation- Our first time mamas as looking big and pregnant
I feel bad as they come slower and slower to the cake truck daily-- I remember that waddling stage and can't imagine what they feel- just plain uncomfortable and ready to BE DONE!
They will be done soon enough- we have 2.5 weeks until we starting calving.
And then in a whirlwind of 30-45 days we'll have 952 Baby Calves running around.
We'll have 8 Senior Vet Students from Colorado State and 2 Interns come and help calve
We pray that the vet students won't be too busy doing c-sections and pulling calves and that it will all just go smoothly!.
While the vet students are here my job is to feed them 3 meals a day- I get paid- but it will be ALOT of work for a month, hopefully I have it planned out good enough so Cinch & I will still be able to spend the majority of our day outside- or we'll both pull our hair out.
Springtime is coming faster than we know it- I can't wait to see all the new baby calves running around!

Have fun! Wish we were there.
So I'm just looking at your blog and read the the right hand all the links to other blogs you're following. The ONLY ones that have actually been updated with in the past 3 months: us, Archibald 4, Daltons (you), and the Nelsons... Come on people!!!
952 calves!!! Holy cow! (Pun intended...)
I think I'd be grateful they are calves and not children!!! :)
Good luck with the people feeding too!
Elaine said the cooking would be the fun part and wishes she could come help. uncle Rex
