Quite the unusual behavior for a cow so i went over to check her out and saw that she was trying to calve. An older cow does not act like this if she is trying to calve, she usually just lays down and gets the job done, not wander all over the place so I figured she was in trouble. We finished feeding as fast as we could and kept an eye on her. She was definitely having trouble, she could get the feet out but I saw no hint of the head so I figured the head was back and we were in definite trouble. <br />n<br />nWe ran home and got the saddles and equipment to pull a calf out, went back and got the horses in and took off to get her in. We found her sure enough, standing over a brand new baby calf. Sher wasn't in trouble at all, just took a long time to calve. All the time we were out getting stuff and getting her in sure shot my plans for the day but better to make sure their is not a problem than lose a cow. She sure fooled me.<br />n<br />n<b>Don't be fooled by the calendar. There are only as many days in the year as you make use of. Charles Richards</b><br />n<br />
