I'm so longing to have a sweet little jersey here, but as of yet my husband hasn't embraced the who self-sustainability idea. Perhaps in time... sigh. Someday... BTW epic name for your bovine.

One is PLENTY. :-) After all, I could give or take the calf- I just want the milk! <br /><br />Rebecca- farm kids get a pretty early understanding of the facts of life. Andrew is the one totally enamored by it all. He has a book (several in fact) that shows a calf being born step by step. The boy has it memorized. He had me explain what ovaries are for the other day. Sheesh.<br /><br />Quinn And Renata- yeah, he is pretty handy to have around. The way he explained it all made me realize just how techinal a job it is...not a good DIY deal, to be sure. Matt will give Penny a bloodtest to preg check her in about 30 days. Renata- I'll be calling on you for advice when we are swimming in milk, kay?!?<br /><br />Anna- you maybe kinda made Matties' day with your comment!<br /><br />Miranda- why am I not surprised?<br /><br />Michael- thanks for your comment! It was nice to hear from you!<br /><br />Michelle- Little Andrew is famous over here too. Praying he gets to go home soon!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983592950942904914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-80812703418982872562013-10-24T22:19:00.487-05:002013-10-24T22:19:00.487-05:00Love it that she included baby Andrew.

I was hoping you'd link to instructions on 'how to', but then was rather relieved that Matt is actually trained in AI ( could you imagine the poor cows having a newbie doing it??). I wish you a wonderful calf in 9 months & loads of milk (we are currently milking our 2 housecows & having so much fun playing with all the milk)! We have to send our cows out to the bull because like you I am adamant that we won't have a bull on our place! It's a juggling act as to when & how to get them there etc. AI is so much easier ( if only we knew someone around who could do it!) Have fun watching your Penny ~ they get so placid & dopey when they are prego!<br />Blessings<br />Renata:)Renatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13546331512433403550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-80709254146492104292013-10-24T05:49:49.225-05:002013-10-24T05:49:49.225-05:00neato! and great October photos!

Because before that I was thinking all about how I didn't know DIY AI was a possibility and my reading about new and prospective DIY homesteading is usually how Bill gets into trouble. Maybe it should be him breathing a sigh of relief! Does Matt confirm the pregnancy too? Looking forward to the results of Penny's pregnancy test!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04180289951777672150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-17442943990070025732013-10-23T11:07:49.974-05:002013-10-23T11:07:49.974-05:00Ok, I will ask it.
