Wehner Homestead
Herd Master
All 4 cows due next week have definitely started udders, swelling is present, and discharge is also increasing. (I’ve been checking ligs on goats, I wonder if it would work on cows...)
Anyway, I got some pics of two of the cows that are coming due.
Dolly is our purebred Angus. She’s bred to Bearcat
fl for a blue roan) and due 2/10.
Maizy is a first calf heifer. We bred her to Jesse James for calving ease. She’s due 2/9. (Her dam, Maddie, is due 2/10 also but she was laying down so I didn’t get a pic.)
These two cows were enjoying the lean-to that was opened up to them when we had ice earlier this month. (L: Bailey, R: Melody)
A pic of Moxie. She’s a dark blue roan and a paternal half sister to Maizy with maternal connections. Moxie is bred to our herd bull, Otis, and due 3/28. She’s also a first calf heifer. (I mentioned Ember in a previous post. These two are maternal half sisters.)
Melody is Maizy’s older half maternal sister out of an Angus Bull we used to own that came from the Purdue Test Station with an awesome rate of gain. She’s due 3/1 to our herd bull, Otis. This will be her third calf. She gave us a Bull then a heifer and has had no calving issues thus far.
November pic showing L: Maddie and R: Scarlett. Both are due 2/10 and bred to Dakota Gold. Scarlett belongs to my dad. He keeps her here as an excuse to spend time here. She’s a pet so we don’t mind! Maddie was bought before we were even married and is 11 yrs old. She’s a mountain of sentimental value, produces a thriving calf every year, and a sweetheart to boot! Maddie is the mother of Mollie (culled after a leg injury but the mother of Moxie and Ember), Melody, and Maizy. She is also the herd queen.
