Lil Hot Shot Is Not So Little

Well, it's official. Hot Shot is going to calve soon. Sunday morning while we were going down to the mailbox for the paper, I noticed that she had developed her udder. We figured she was pregnant due to sheer size and the fact that she had been in with the Bull, Munro, for a couple of months prior to our acquiring the fold at the end of October. Gestation is 9 months so she was bred sometime in mid to late September.

Merry Kait delivered a heifer calf around July last year so she should be bred by now, too and could deliver as soon as mid-July. We'll be watching her for udder development.
