Have a cow due in 9 days. Looks now like the weather will not be to bad 20s at night. She was a mistaken breeding. I dont plan to calve in December. She had a fall bull calf last year and I thought she was breed back so I left her in with the bull but surprise as soon as the weather warmed up she was in heat.

One of nature's little treasures. This calf will get more attention.

Her name is Lucy.
We got lucky on the weather. A week later would have been cold. Currently 2 deg high today of 10.

Good for you and her that she is tolerating the cold well.
I don't envy you the low temperatures.

Congratulations! You got a heifer and a cow who is taking good care of her! It's 13* here this morning and, thankfully, no wind -- yet! It'll take me a couple of days to adjust to the bitter cold.
