We have just a couple weeks left until our calf is due! We are all getting so excited! I am feeling a little nervous because this will be my first calf being born here and I hope everything goes smoothly. I have been checking on mom daily to watch for any changes. So far there hasn't been any!

Alastor has been so much fun! He loves to run around and kick. Mama has been so good and patient with us. She has allowed each of us in the corral to pet him. Our steer is having a little bit of jealousy over the baby getting so much attention lol, but he is just one big teddy bear. I am very happy and grateful my family gets the opportunity to experience such wonderful things like this.

The baby has finally arrived!! Our little one is a bull calf. He was born yesterday at 1:00 in the afternoon. Bexten and I were lucky enough to watch him be born! He is absolutely adorable and I am so happy to have him finally here! We decided to name him Alastor. Athena is being an awesome mom!

LOL! I've been there so I'm laughing with you :) Hopefully the wait is almost over, but I'm guessing you're getting a bull calf.

Well this little stinker is really confusing us. We could have sworn she was in the early stages of labor but she tricked us. So now we are still waiting. The anticipation is killing me. It's starting to feel like the watched pot that never boils.

Heather, Jake calls it "bag up". He officially has her on baby watch right now. He thinks she will deliver in the next 24 hours. Fingers crossed!

So exciting Heather and Krista! New farm Babies!
I thought fireflies were everywhere too .We have tons here on our 3 acres of woods. They are fun to watch after Dark.

I'd say she's getting close then! They really seem to "udder up" as we call it, right before the baby comes. It's not too late to still hope for a heifer. Usually 3 or 4 days can still be a girl :)

Heather, I have never seen a lightning bug! I really want to though. We were told the same thing from the family about heifers and bull calves. It's looking like it may be a bull calf after all lol! She has had some good progression the last 2 days with her udder.
