Aww! Thank you, Ms. Tara! xoxo

funny enough, my husband studied animal science at UT the year I was pregnant with our son and I was shocked that cows were so similar to human women as far as gestational cycles go. Learning about cattle actually helped him understand my pregnancies! 😁 I just thought that was cool.

Miss Belle is beautiful and very fortunate to have you caring for her. You're so natural with animals !!

Thanks so much for this video. We just moved to a mini farm a couple of years ago, and we do NOT know much about this stuff, we are in the learning stages.. But, we have a heifer who we know jumped the fence went to the neighbors, and then she came right back afterwards. There were signs that she was bred, but we thought she would calf a couple of weeks ago and still nothing. One thing you mentioned that I had not heard, was the the vein thing in the center of her abdomen, I will have to go check our Molly out when I get home. I have been looking at everything else you mentioned, but I guess we will see what happens in the next month.

You are such a loving friend to all your animals. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for another wonderful video Patara. I will be forever grateful for all the knowledge you share.

You sure can tell you love your animals.... You are a truly Blessed person. Big hugs hope to see baby soon... I think its a Girl...

My farmer's talking about getting 5 bred heifers...oh boy! Good info to know and look for when it's time to calve on our farm.

Holy moly. Who is milking that? ;-)

Your video is very informative and as a cow owner in the Philippines you really informed me in you way

Love your video. I have a heifer getting ready to calf in July. Her first and mine to. I really didn't know what to look for but I have noticed some of these changes in her. I will surely be more observent from now until her delivery. Thanks for the information

Fascinating! Love the country education.

What a beautiful, sweet natured cow! I would say you also Patara, have the gift of lovin'....your animals know that you love and respect them. That is just as important as anything else.

Thank you! You are a natural teacher.

Great video! Very informative for sure!

Not a homesteader but love the videos, thank you!

I learn a lot from your video's. Great!! Thx!!

Ooh I hope you get to film the birth!

CONGRATS!!! I can't wait to see a new baby! :D

Yay! waiting to see the calf!!

Look at this my new friend has an old video on the subject I'm looking for Thanks so much xoxox much love xoxox

so informative. you are great!!

AM HAPPY TO LEARN FROM YOU

also a note: if or when you know they are pregnant, their belly will sag to the ground, and 24-48hrs before birthing the belly moves up from the ground and she won't look lopsided , which standing behind her....her backside looks very wide and yes the tail comes up more but that whole area looks much wider than any other time, meaning the baby is moving into the birth cannel! 👶👶👶👶 birthing time right around the corner!

Thanks for the great video! How soon did she give birth after this video was made?

love your vids! If she wasn't bred, wouldn't she still come into heat every month, or does she only come into heat in the fall?

Hi Patera, I love your videos! When she does calf, do you keep the calf on mom, bottle feed or sell the calf? I am curious.

Is it possible that they won't tell you when they're ready to calve? Like besides bagging up?

Good luck on the approaching birth.

Oregon, daughter's Holstein heifer is about to calve. You described appearance of V exactly, protruding flared and bouncy. Daughter called to buy two more day old calfs to graft. ...I suggested only 1calf. Thoughts?

LOVE THAT MISS BELLE! Hey Patera, how's the training of Miss Cora coming along?

ever hear this appalachia saying ? Where you been ? running with the dry cattle ? has Nanna never asked you that before !

My Dad always seemed to know exactly when he should call out the vet to have our cows inseminated. One time though he missed that our old cow Bernadette was ready. As he was walking out of the field he suddenly found himself with a hoof on each of his shoulders and old Bernadette walking behind him. Why that didn't hurt him he didn't know but let me tell you the vet visited that evening, lol!
