I finally had another calf born overnight. The previous calf was born way back on April 13. Heifer #90 (not to be confused with her mother, cow #90) gave birth. By 10 am the calf was warm and dry and walking so it had been born some hours earlier. The calf is a heifer.
The other calves were very interested in checking out this new calf. The calf's mother has her back to us and eating hay I placed near her.
Another cute little calf. The new mom is a good mom. She is attentive and usually near the calf (other than when she grabs a quick bite to eat). When the calf was walking around checking out the corral the mother followed gently mooing over and over, "Be careful. Be careful."
I have one heifer left to calf and two cows. All are looking closer to calving. The last heifer to calve is the largest heifer (almost the size of a cow already!) so I hope that helps minimize first time birth problems.
