I love the name! It's always wonderful to see a good Dexter mother in action. Congratulations on your heifer!

Gosh, Gene, Congratulations and I am soooooo stinking jealous. Bonnie is way overdue (Jan. 21) and today is Sassy's due date. As of 4:30 this morning, nothing. Could you send some good baby vibes my way...

Congratulations Gene! Fran I was going to ask about yours ready to calve. Were they AI or natural service? If natural is there a possibility you missed a subsequent breeding, especially for Bonnie?

Morning Hans! Mine were natural. And yes, there is always a possibility that I missed something . I did pregnancy tests on 3 of the 4 that are due, so I know that 3 are pregnant and I know Bonnie is due before Rosemary and Ellie because her numbers were higher meaning she was further along in her pregnancy. I didn't test Sassy because she wasn't interested in coming in that day and I didn't go get her. Once I got the pregnancy results, I just went back to the last time I had marked down a heat for them - so yes, I could most certainly be wrong. I actually got the stall ready last night because Bonnie was biting at her sides yesterday and Sassy was doing a little biting at her side but mostly just really switching her tail off and on. But, no, nothing. This will be Bonnie's 4th, Sassy's 1st, Rosemary's 2nd, and Ellie's 2nd - I think I've got all that right in my head....

Congratulations, Gene! Great job, Eve!
Those of you still waiting, keep us apprised, and let us know if the "overdue" cows end up with bull-calves.

How cute Gene...Wish I knew how to put videos up on Utube....

Really cute! She let you scratch her head and then it was like she suddenly thought, oops! So funny when she took off.
