Calving season 2018 has started hot and heavy. We have about 10 cows in the maternity ward with all of them being cows that I AI'd. That is a pretty big deal for me. We decided in 2014 that I would take the AI course and start AI'ing to help save money. Well last year I had two AI calves stick but unfortunately one was born premature and didnt make it. If you look at past blog post, I shared that experience with you. Well this year I am 2 for 7 so far, with the remaining cows ready to go at any time. I am pretty excited with 2 as that for me is a big accomplishment.
Having the security cameras up and running has really helped alot. As we speak we are watching the new momma cow lick her calf clean from the comfort of our warm home. While we all went out to make she the birth was going okay, we don't have to spend hours in the cold keeping watch.
2 down.....70 to go!
