It’s the most exciting time of the year: the
Great Wait.
“Great” refers to the size of the expectant cows
as well as the anticipation of soon-coming calves. As for “wait”: we clean and
straw the barn—and wait. We sort the heavy cows close to the barn—and wait.
Every night, we trek out into the shivery-cold darkness three different times to
check the cows—and wait. Every day, we discuss our visual assessments, trying
to predict who will calve first—and wait.
