The hard part is going to be the ear tagging. That is going to be fun. I just hope Im there when the first one is born. <BR/><BR/>We have a couple of ewes who arent due until mid March at the earliest but they look like they are going to burst. Im hoping for octuplets.Michael@greenakeys.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13196783983393304353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7380443079054363050.post-24152635380030596402009-02-12T13:17:00.000-08:002009-02-12T13:17:00.000-08:00Wow that is soooo exciting!:)Wow that is soooo exciting!<BR/>:)SteveandAlinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15384122545397609414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7380443079054363050.post-60340245329959453962009-02-12T05:00:00.000-08:002009-02-12T05:00:00.000-08:00Congrats!

Our little ones wag their tails when they eat, too.<BR/><BR/>We normally bottle raise, but did let June (the guest goat) dam-raise this year. I know it is hard not to worry, but the newborns can go several hours without getting up to get their colostrum. <BR/>...but I'm with you. I'd rather watch them eat than assume they have.<BR/><BR/>Way to go. Now I gotta run. We have one due today plus Naomi, the wildcard.Blue Heron Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04061851748569320541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7380443079054363050.post-83847799745983125692009-02-12T02:25:00.000-08:002009-02-12T02:25:00.000-08:00I'd like to see Mike flip the momma cow on in his ...I'd like to see Mike flip the momma cow on in his lap!<BR/><BR/>I've had friends that have had belties, mommas are fierce. They had a calf that had knuckled under, trying to catch that calf every 3 days and redo the cast on it's feet was great fun. Distract the mom enough to steal her calf! <BR/><BR/>Have fun Mike!Nohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00276471395513015697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7380443079054363050.post-87077770868835900272009-02-11T20:03:00.000-08:002009-02-11T20:03:00.000-08:00The earliest the calves should start dropping is t...The earliest the calves should start dropping is the 23rd. They could be any time for a month or so after that. Depends if the bull did his job right away. They only cycle into heat every 17 days and only for a short time when they do so if the bull isnt around she might not get pregnant the first cycle. The bulls are in with the females for at least 45 days in order to catch them in heat.<BR/><BR/>Im going to sleep.Michael@greenakeys.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13196783983393304353noreply@blogger.com
