\u2606 Daisy, pregnant cow extraordinaire, is having her baby!!!! \u2606
\nThe BIG question: boy or girl? male or female? bull or heifer?<\/p>\n
Leave your guess in the comment section! One entry per person please!\u00a0 I may not know if you cheated, but you<\/em> will, and that takes the fun out of it, doesn’t it?!<\/p>\n \u2606 I know I’ll be asked what I’m hoping for ~ a male calf or a female calf ~ and what I’m really hoping for is a live calf, and one that survives.\u00a0 Daisy loves being a mother and I want her to have that opportunity more than anything.\u00a0 It’s nerve-wracking to have her calve this time of year. (She was bred when I bought her so I had no choice in the matter.)<\/em><\/p>\n Beyond that ~ at first, I was hoping for a heifer calf (female).\u00a0 Because then she would grow up to be a dairy cow, too!\u00a0 I thought if Daisy had a male calf, it would be destined for Charlie’s belly.\u00a0 BUT!\u00a0 THEN!\u00a0 I had an idea!<\/p>\n One of my far-off dreams has been to have a team of horses to help me do farm work ~ tilling the fields I don’t yet own, feeding hay from a wagon or sleigh pulled by the team…. more connection to time, animals, and earth; less dependency on gasoline.<\/p>\n And I realized, if Daisy births a boy, I can raise him as a steer (castrated male) and he will be my Plow Cow!\u00a0 Hurrah!!!\u00a0 {My my, I keep going further back in time, and keep accumulating animals… and I love it…..}<\/em><\/p>\n So, I will be thrilled with either.\u00a0 But I can’t wait to see your guesses!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u2606 Daisy, pregnant cow extraordinaire, is having her baby!!!! \u2606 The BIG question: boy or girl? male or female? bull or heifer?

\nAfter the birth – and once things calm down – I will randomly select one person with the correct guess and that person will receive a very special prize (because this is a very<\/em> special event).<\/p>\n
