Theodore and Amos

Gotta love the shed cameras!

Thursday night at 9:30 I checked the cameras from bed.

And then I got Ben and Elsie up.

Alyeska had her calf and decided she wasn't interested.

It took quite a bit of convincing

and Ben reminded her 

that we have appointments already made at A & M in 10 days 

and he is willing to substitute her for one of the steers.

She finally agreed to do her part.

But she's not super happy about it.

 Accelerator wanted to cuddle up with Elsie 

after she helped him get lunch on Friday.

During chore time Friday,

while it was 31* and 25 mph winds and snow flurries,

we discovered that Polly had just had her calf, Sprite.

*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*

Then the exciting one!

I checked the cameras at 1:15 Saturday morning.

It took me a bit to decide for sure and then Paul confirmed it,

so I got Ben and Elsie again.

Zelda had just had twins!

She was very confused and didn't want both of them.

Ben got one on her

while I sprinkled corn on the other one 

to convince Zelda to pay attention to him.

Zelda was not sure at all about the whole deal.

Elsie gave one of them a bottle

while Ben got the other one on Zelda.

At 2:45 a.m. they made one more effort to get both calves on 

before we headed back in 

for showers and a few more hours of sleep.
