Mystery Text

I just have to laugh sometimes when I read texts between Harland and I.

Here’s an exchange between us last night when he was at a fire dept. meeting and I was left home to guard the fort:

(My texts are in bold.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

7:43pm – Hey, call me..

7:43pm – What’s up?

7:44pm – Bag about the size of a chicken. No sign of labor. And she’s trying the gates.

7:46pm – That’s how she looked at 6:30

7:47pm – Want me to give her another hour?

7:47pm – Yes

8:52pm – No change. And she’s trying to get out near the feed bunk.  R we going to have to pull?

8:57pm – Don’t know

8:59pm – U might ask Andrew or Charlie along. Don’t want to do this alone

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We were in for a long evening….

Tune in tomorrow to see what all this nonsense means, and how it all turned out.

Don’t you just love it when I leave you hanging???

Cattle, corn, wheat, beans, mud, snow, ice, and drought. Plenty of fresh air and quiet. Our life is sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes joyous, but never boring.

    LOL…my husband just called me…”Did you check that cow?”
    I go check her and call him back. (He doesn’t text) “She’s standing up, looking close.”
    Him…”No legs out yet?”
    Oh the conversations we have! 🙂

      Sounds just like us! “Both feet out? And a nose? Is she off by herself?” LOL!

        Heifer calf, just born 10 minutes ago! Cow wouldn’t lay down…you’d think after 4 calves, that it’s rather difficult to give birth standing up!!

        • Suzanne says:

          We had a heifer do that last year. Harland watched and said later that the calf was “shot out of her like a watermelon seed”. 🙂

    My oldest son is anxiously waiting for his 4-H heifer to calve. I am, quite frequently, getting pictures messages from him as changes occur. I REALLY hope I don’t lose my phone…

    I know what you’re “talking” about!! Hope she does okay!
