We're still trying to catch my friend's one missing calf. We've been feeding her, slowly getting her to walk into the stock trailer - we should be able to trap her soon. But today one of his cows (hereford) gave birth.
My friend was away so I got the call to go play midwife and keep an eye on things.
The bull was a little too interested in mom, we got him put away - thankfully he's halter broken. But the little heifer popped out nice and easy, right in the middle of a @#$I(*$ patch of pickers.
For January, I gotta say at least we didn't have to worry about the cold. Normally we'd just leave them be, but I felt bad for her. She kept rolling and getting pickers stuck in her face. I was worried about her eyes. And of course they were right next to the electric fence.
So typical. Big field, with all the room in the world, and they've got to pick the WORST spot.
I went in and carried the little one into a safer area. Mom didn't like it, but got over it.
She's up and feeding.
As often as you see it happen, it's still always fun to watch them figure out their new world.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
