That's it I quit....drove a little over 350 miles in 2 days delivering cookies and brownies for my daughter. 13 stops this morning but at least I didn't have to drive too far like I did yesterday almost to the Mississippi line. All this was in a Nissan Juke company car that she bought to run errands with...not the best for getting in and out of all day. Stopped at the house for lunch and getting ready to head back to the office to get my truck. Second year I've done this!

Little bit early for a calf to come unless it was an oops or the cow was rebred...or do you guys stagger your calving season?
