Little storm blew through this morning...and during calving season, storms sometimes kick-start the calving process. Spring calving season has long been done, but that's exactly what happened out in the pasture today. We have a spring cow that we didn't think was bred...she sure didn't look like she was gonna calve when the other cows did in March. When it came time to put the cows out to the summer pasture, she looked a little like she might actually be carrying a calf. And sure enough, she calved, she was just 3 months behind everyone else. Big Red had herself a little black heifer. We managed to get it tagged and vaccinated without too much excitement.
On a side note, the wheat is getting close to being ready to harvest. We bit some berries tonight in a couple different fields. They were pretty darn close in the one field, and still smushy in the other field. I'm sure some will try cutting this weekend. I'd give it another week.

We had a heifer bag up very quickly last week. Didn't think she was bred either. She's a little crazy and went off in the back pasture. Hadn't seen her since till today. Gonna have to see if we can find a calf!
