Post by: langfauld easycare on June 24, 2014, 12:30:27 am

 :wave: one of my pedigree herefords had a nice big bull calf tonight :excited:  . i bought her last year calf at foot and been running with the bull .i was late picking them up just aswell or she wouldnt have been in calf . from when i picked them up her last possible due date should have been yesterday . bull must have gave her a parting gift just before i put her in trailer  :roflanim: (kids called her grumpy as she has a constant grumpy look on her face :D
