The Next Waiting Game

Now that Plum has finally had her calf it is now time to start watching the other females to see who is next up.

The most likely cow out of the bunch is #41 Ruby. She is a well-established cow and has a good track record with birthing, but she has a large bag that tends to fill with milk before delivery causing it to drag through every muddy spot on the place. We moved her out to the nursery field a couple of days ago so that the more grassy than muddy space will help keep her bag clean for the new one to nurse once born.

She is taking full advantage of the spa lifestyle out in the nursery field with the other cow/calf pairs and does not look any closer to calving than the day we moved her out there. Perhaps these more senior cows have collectively concluded that Mike and I can be outsmarted just by them looking like they are near calving. Time will tell is she was just fibbing or if she is really serious that she will be next one to deliver.
