Well I think I have this picture thingy down pat now...At least I think and that don't mean a whole lot nor cares a lot of weight..... This picture is of my newest little member and he's not so little as you can see.. His mom is Big Bit but she just turned 16 months old November 6th.. I almost aborted this little fellow back in April when I relized Big Bit was with a baby..I had gone to my vets to get the med to abort her and my vet was called out in an emergency before I got there. Will my dad is pretty good at deleivering hard to deliever babies since we probably assist in 20 to 30 or more births a year out of the 120 head or so of cattle we have. My dad said just let her go ahead and we will probably have to assist but things should be ok.. Well I thought it over and decided okkk.. I had been getting up a couple times a night for the last 2 weeks checking on her and yesterday at 11:00 a.m. my dad had to deliever him.. It wasn't easy but everything turned out really well.. Just do wish it had been a heifer since Big Bit and her Blood line goes all the way back to her grate grandmother,which was my pet cow when i was a little girl 40 years ago...I have Big bits mom and a couple halve sisters as well. I hope to keep something with the same blood line on the farm as long as possible.. Well here/s the picture Maybe..
