Posey's got calving on her mind!

Looks like the Super Moon didn't do what we were hoping.  I was imagining Posey just spitting that little calf out lickety split.  Instead, Posey's just moving along as scheduled.  Last night she started discharging and spent all night/morning lying, stretching, pushing, walking, pushing, stretching, pushing.

We are hopeful that it is a heifer.  We used sexed Burdette semen on her.  She settled with it the first time and she had Prim, but she was a heifer then.  Now since she's a cow, it's surprising that she settled the first time AND with sexed semen.  Someone told me that they knew of two bulls that were born from the Burdette sexed semen to the same owner.  So there is never a guarantee with sexed semen, especially with cows.

We are also hopeful that it is a heifer because Posey is calving on time.  If she were a week late or so, we would be thinking it is a bull.  They say that bulls arrive late most of the time.

We're just praying that Posey has a healthy heifer calf that THRIVES!

So today is going to be interesting.  We will have to go check on her.  I know it sounds goofy, but  I'll probably check on her with binoculars.  I don't want to disturb her process.  She needs to get this done.  Who knows how long this will take.  We may be up all night.  Time will tell.
