So much for a 21 day cycle for cattle to go into heat. Saturday morning, 19 days after she last started going into heat, Baby went into heat again. 8:10 am to be exact as that is when she started her mooing.
Since the cattle are just in the hayfield and don't have access to the river, and Baby was just mooing and not running around crazy, I let Baby be instead of putting her into the loading corral.
Off and on during the day Baby would moo and call for a boyfriend. Come evening she took it up a notch as she started to walk the fence line with the south and middle pastures stopping to moo and look towards the river. One of the cattle across the river would moo back which encouraged Baby to moo more. When the cattle across the river quit mooing then some cattle at the potato farm would moo and Baby would start up again.
She started to roam and run along the fence line and I made preparations to put her into the loading corral. But then Baby and part of the herd came to the water trough and I gave them some apples. Then Dan's Hereford came and she has a grudge with Baby. They started to fight but as the Hereford outweighs Baby by a few hundred pounds, Baby lost though she put up a good fight. When not fighting the Hereford would mount Baby even though the Hereford is a heifer. Baby would stand there until she couldn't take the weight anymore.
All this activity distracted Baby and she stopped her mooing and calling for a "boy". Hopefully she get over her horniness tomorrow.
