[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1841531, member: 40587"] The Guernsey- Herf and her calf went with Scott' brother Saturday. Yay!! We got the Pummers, their calves and the Corrs all rounded up and herded to the Kudzu place with no problem. The vet and her hubby are pretty good cowboys, and excellent horsemen. All 22 Plummers had calves Saturday. but so did one of the Corrs I bought the other day that are supposed to be due in March.
