Calf 12 - 40's

Cow 40 had a little bull calf overnight.  The surprise was that the calf has a white face, breaking Toby's run of all black calves.  I realized why cow 40 was late this year.  She is not late.  Last year I planned to sell her and had her keep cow 20 company.  They were not exposed to the bull.  After cow 120 got the swollen jaw and became hamburger I decided not to sell cow 40 as I didn't want to haul just one cow to the auction in Missoula.  So I let her back out to join the rest of the herd and Toby.  That was back in July.  So that explains why cow 40 didn't give birth until today.

I just have Mama and Diamond left to calve.  And yes, both are a little late in calving.  Any day now...
