Calving has been going hot and heavy. We did have quite a few calves before due date last Saturday but 5 days after official start date we are better than 30% done on total herd. Heifers are nearly half done on 140 head.
In 72 hours from midnight last Friday to midnight Monday there were 56 calves born, roughly 10%.
We did find a guy with experience to help and while it took a bit for us all to feel out how to work together, he has been a Godsend in taking a bunch of weight off Debbie and I.
Got 3 calving now, maybe get some shuteye in an hour or so. NR would make a comment about whores and thieves but I think this pays better.
Have been keeping up but my thinker is working a little slow the last week to make much for comment.
Shipping the cheap calves we bought last fall next week. Bought a load of breeding heifers last week. With any luck, the double in quality will only cost $150 or less.
