Sioux had a bull sometime this morning, I would guess. I had a feeling she was close - when I visited her last night. She was away from Erin part of the time, eyeing her last year's birthing place. She was really puffed up in the vulva and she kept "calling the calf". Just a different kind of "moo" I suppose. When I walked up to the barn and saw her in the shade, looking at me, the first thing I noticed was that she was more slender. Then in the corner of the barn - a curly haired black calf. Still a bit wobbly on the legs, but able to keep up with mom, and upon close examination - a bull calf. Much bigger than Gusty's, may be over 45 lbs. Definitely taller and more square. So there goes my idea of training them as an oxen pair 
. One will end up taller than the other... Ah, well, may be next time.
