The Stanchion

Well..Al and I worked on the stanchion Friday and got quite a bit done! It might work just the way it is actually..depending on how still my girl will stand but doesn't seem to mind her head in between the boards too much at all, I was surprised. I feel like we are just about ready for this little calf (heifer, I hope!) to come! Her name will be Abilene! We do need to bring the other refrigerator down from Al's dad's house still, will probably get that done this week. I have no idea how much milk I will get at all but I am pretty sure that our one fridge here at the house won't hold it all. Have a blessed day!

Still no calf...

Well, I guess I was wrong...I told you I was new at all of this. I talked to a trusted friend and sent her some pics of Abbey and she says probably a couple of weeks, I was getting a little over excited! Probably won't be much else to report until the calf comes. I guess I will just have more time to prepare now!

My pretty Abbey girl

Abbey will be calving soon..

I am so excited to know that Abbey will be calving probably today or tomorrow! She is showing all the signs that I've read about so it won't be long now...I will keep you updated. That is really all I have for now! I really hope we have a heifer but I will just be happy for a healthy calf.
I have never done anything like this before in my life so...it should be interesting, lol!
