Beulah Petunia’s calf is SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! I’ve got more pictures, and some video, which I hope I can get posted later today.
In the meantime, the guessing game giveaway winner is Cindy Lou, with 6:06 a.m. on the 14th. The actual time we discovered the calf was 8:30 p.m. on the 13th. (Cindy Lou, email me at CITRgiveaways(at)aol.com with your full name and address for shipping!)
Meanwhile, I think we were wrong last night when we tried to sex the calf in the dark while it was still wet.
In daylight and dried off…. I think it’s a boy!
UPDATE: See the rest of the story (and final sexing results) here!

BTW, I made your country style green beans last night. And there were no leftovers this morning.

You seem to have this sex determination problem, Suzanne.
Even if you cannot get close, just watch him/her until s/he pees. Works on all animals. But you might want to dip its navel just as with goats and sheep, too. So check it out.

Boy or girl, BP’s newborn is beautiful. Eyelashes to die for. With that face, I hope he’s a she.
How’s Beulah Petunia doing?

Hey 52-”Throw it up in the air and if it sticks to the ceiling, its a——no, wait—-that’s for chickens.” FUNNY,I didn’t know that worked for chickens too!
Congrats to all!

I hope its a girl & you name her another flower name…Daisy, or Pansy, … to go along with mom’s Petunia.
Can’t wait to hear if it’s a boy or girl. CONGRATS!

Okay. I’m a city girl. What is navel dipping? Never mind. I looked it up. Seems important. For anyone else who might not know, these sites explain what and why: http://www.milkproduction.com/Library/Articles/Calving_Ease_Navels_and_Newborns.htm

Sorry to get so technical. I was just curious, and ended up with information overload! What an education I’m getting from reading this site! Suzanne, did you already know about this?

I’m curious – the title of your post said BBB winner was announced…but I only saw the announcement for the “birthdate” winner. Did I miss something?

Congratulations! I guessed that it would be born on the day that my new nephew was due to arrive. My nephew surprised us all and came earlier than expected! A good 3 weeks early! He was born September 13th at 6:15 pm. Weighed 8 pounds and 12 ounces! A healthy handsome bouncing boy!
