Waiting

I can't believe it's the last day of February all ready. I realized it yesterday as I was looking at the main bunch of cows. They are really getting heavy and are going to start calving any day now. They're bred to start on the 10th of March but early ones could start any day now.<br />n<br />nI think they are just waiting for cold weather, which by the forecast isn't going to happen, before they decide to start having them. Waiting for cold weather? Hell I'm waiting for any kind of weather other than this day after day of nice weather. It isn't Montana with all this nice weather. Something has gotta give eventually.<br />n<br />nThe weather has been so nice that I've heard some people are out farming. I had to move some dirt Saturday and below 2 inches the frost was still in the ground so hard I couldn't get the blade to bite. It's nice enough I want to get out and do some farming or anything but it will be a while yet before the frost is out to do anything. It's driving me nuts!<br />n<br />nWell I don't have to wait to see if the graft of the bum took. Momma just loves her new baby and follows it around like a puppy dog. I will leave them separate for a little longer so the baby knows for sure that the cow following him around is momma. <br />n<br />n<b>It's alive and waiting for you.
