A Sad Day

Candy the cow finally went into labor the day before yesterday, at 1 AM in the morning.  We'd all been waiting to see her new baby, but he was stillborn.  What a terrible night.

Miss Kathy keeps a human baby monitor nearby when our times come, and was on hand to help Candy.  She told mom that she and Eric had to work hard to straighten out Candy's calf's feet so he could be born, and that he was a very large baby.  Sometime during the delivery we lost him.  It's a very sad week at the farm.

Poor little Pumpkin was looking forward to having another calf to play with.  I guess he'll have to wait for our kids which will be coming in March now.  By then, he'll be much bigger.  I hope he'll still like to play!

We mothers-to-be are all so sorry for Miss Candy.  Thank goodness she has her health, and can try again next year.

Your Lady in Waiting,
Faith
