Oh Cannonball Run.... sigh, good times. Haven't been any good non ricer cross country car movies in a while. Was a lot of them back in my pre school age days
A second day of light snow here (less than 3") but it's 30 with some rain added to the mix. Retirement is nice but it's nicer on days like this. I do enjoy driving in it though (yeah, I'm sick like that) so I may venture out to the grocery store and see what it's like.
They usually are. My last boss believed in and taught me that minimal intervention is minimal need for intervention, if that makes sense.
Wellllllll, that all changed yesterday evening. Had another cow go into labor. No problem, I'm going to keep an eye on her make sure things move along. Well, I see feet hanging out the rear through the water bag. Then it bursts and I see the feet, only they are facing the wrong way! Long story short had to get her up in a corral and tied off and pull the calf. Breech baby, thankfully and miraculously alive. Doing well this morning.

Congrats Zach! Yes, this is when intervention is needed. We had 375 calves on the ground by the end of June, but only had to interfere with two....one was breach and the other was just....well.....stuck LOL! Nice work though. The rest of our herd birthed just fine on their own, though I would saddle up and check the heifers every morning just to make sure we had no issues.

I've got 2 heifers that will be going into a corral at the end of Feb so I don't do any chasing. Thankfully, I think March will be better weather.
