The nice guy from the local Surge store came and did a couple of things to the pump/motor. It is fine now. I got there about 2:30 and was chasing the 2nd group of cows up to the holding area in the barnyard.............Oh, my.............we have a blessed event in the cow lot. And I was told "there are 3 heifers in with the cows..........they will not freshen while we are gone". Obviously one heifer did not read the memo. Said heifer belonged to the gal's uncle. Uncle came and got her, the calf, (she had a son......LOL) and one of the other heifers that was also his. Truth be told, that one's calf is almost waving..........she's pretty close. Wouldn't be surprised if she had hers in the next day or so. The 3rd heifer DID read the memo...........she won't be in for a few days. The SU came over and helped me finish up. When we were done we sorted those 2 out. Uncle came while we were getting them into the empty loose housing shed. I pushed that damn calf about 40 miles to get it up there...............well, it FELT like 40 miles. I said "pretty sure you ain't gonna be ready to run with the herd in 2 hours..........."
Both heifers walked right in the trailer. More luck than we deserved, I guess.
