I am just up waiting on my donor to calve.  She is 5 days late and I am starting to get worried.  She looked really close today at 4 but no closer when I went and checked at 10.  All my other cows have been late this year, but I am still worried.  <cowboy>

just had a war eagle bull calf born last friday. 2nd calf cow was due monday of that week. She had it know problem. Both years she has carried about 4 days later than due date. Might just be the cow. Good luck hope it works out

4 days late isn't anything to worry about at all. I could see with it being a donor how you could get anxious. I'm sure everything will be fine.

well the waiting is over.  She had a 83lb bull this morning.  He is a dark roan over most of his body with a white belly.  Bout as thick as you would want a baby calf to be.  We did have a problem with a older bull calf try to ride him.  We very quickly moved that cow and calf to another pasture.  I will get picts when I can.
