Waiting Mode

Sep
13


Well, no baby yet!

In fact, Beulah Petunia seems pretty unconcerned.

But me and the boys? (Eclipse, at the fence.)

We are pretty pumped up! This is the most exciting thing that’s happened since Clover had her babies. Or since Poky came to town. Or since the chickens started laying eggs!

Maybe we are a little excitable around here.

If you want to make guesses here between now and the end of time about when BP is going to have her calf, I will send a BBB to the winner with the closest guess. (Date and time of the winning guess will be the date and time I discover the calf, as I may not know or be present at the birth!)

NOTE: I just posted a bunch of photos of BP yesterday here, from all the handy angles. Sorry, I assumed you all had seen that! If you’ve already guessed and hadn’t seen the photos in that post, you can change your guess if you want!

I have Angus and can make a pretty good guess with them but my first Jersey calf will be born this spring, and they are built different so here goes my guess on your beautiful Dairy Cow Petunia!!!!!

    Have to put in for September 27 at 1:36 am but you won’t find it until 7:30am when you notice that that sheep is out again and go wandering the barn yard in your fuzzy slippers.

  61. lavenderblue says:

    Or,better yet, what time does Morgan’s bus come? Right about then so she’ll be late and you’ll have to choose between driving her to the bus or helping BP.

  62. Grammie Earth says:

    OK BabyBP…Just Do It!
    I expect I have checked here 20 times today. I need to accomplish something!

  64. catslady says:

    September 23rd at 7am….my son’s birthday….moooooooo!

  67. Yvonne says:

    I’m guessing Sept 24th is when you will find the calf, ’cause I think she will have it late the 23rd with the full moon – don’t ask me why, I’m just guessing and the full moon seems right!!

  68. Yvonne says:

    P.S. The time – when you normally go down for feeding…..

  74. Melinda says:

    I have to agree with the masses and say Sept. 24th when you wake up and go to check on her I think you will find a little BP. I’m not giving a specific time or date other than that general area because I bought myself a BBB! lol……I just wanted to be in on the guessing!

  75. Michelle says:

    September 15th… 9am? Why haven’t I paid more attention to what time you go to feed BP? Drat! 😉
