Northeast, NE | Can we share the idiot of the day award?
I had a heifer calving. She'd been at it awhile, so I decided to run her up to the barn to assist her. Did some sorting, a few extra got by me, sorted them off again, shut the gate. Heifer I am after jumps a make shift fence I have set up as a runway and decides to tour the farm. Twenty minutes later we are both upset with each other, but we are finally together in the barn with the headgate. I get my calving supplies and some warm water to give her a quick feel. Man she is tight...no way she is calving...but I saw feet....am I loosing my mind? Decided to turn her loose, and that is when I catch her tag number...144...the one I wanted was 114. I head back to the heifer pen to find 114 licking her newborn calf like a good momma does! I am such an idot! I must be sleep deprived! I need a nap!
MarkinNEMO's calving poem enters my mind!
