    Hey Carson! Still binge watching backwards here in Oklahoma. We're getting thunderstorms with low temps today. That's just crazy. The perfect end to a busy day. Mom and baby look warm and happy. Thanks for raising food for folks to eat.

    Hello Carson! Hope calving season goes well for you! Calving heifers in the cold can be challenging!! We used to calve in January…but moved calving to late March and April. Know you have to to get them bred before heading them to the hills. Loved the “Best part…holding my little bull calf”! 🥰 Dad just said he remembers when you had 15K subscribers! Thank you so much for taking us along! Blessings to you!

    Hi Carson, glad to see that even though the calving season started a little rough everything worked out in the end. It is good that you saw that calf out in the snow and got it in the warming station. I think pulling that calf saved it's life as it probably would have had a hard delivery. Thanks for taking us along on the calving season and for repositioning the camera, we couldn't see much before. Nice way to end a hectic day holding and spending time with Silas.

    When I was your age calved in February
    Little older went to March 1
    Then March 20
    Then April 10 with age
    Now August 20.
    Not truly convinced of fall calving but haven’t drug a calf through a snow bank to the barn in 4 years.

    Those drone shots are fantastic!!!! The old green truck reminds me of our old truck dad called Old smoke…because when he started it …it blew out a lot of black smoke.😀. Glad you guys found that calf and is warming up…. Busy time for you all… Love seeing all those little babies… I always took care of the baby calves…my favorite….Heifers don’t know what’s happening when their calving…glad you guys are keeping an eye out…. Have a great day..stay warm and keep those calves coming…❤❤❤❤

    The miracle of birth, natural or with help. God giving life is truly wonderous! A little calf may just be the biggest troublemaker of the whole herd--sometimes they really get to be so adventurous when their beginning was not the best. Dairy cow experience from my knowledge, is what I have seen. Love calves. GOD BLESS with calving season.

It's another 20 dollar expense, but i think it's money well spent. Calve on! 2023 is gonna be the cow-pokes year!

About how many heifers are you guys calving this spring? We have around 75 starting around the 7th of March.
    Good luck with them, it sure can be a lot of work.
