Surprise Pregnancy

Weren’t we surprised. On September 1, I brought home Sweetheart, a gorgeous Jersey queen from Kansas. She traveled here with her fellow, a bull named Samson, that I had also purchased. Their previous owner had only recently allowed them to be together. Fine with me.

During the month of October, I left them together, hoping for a pregnancy. After 30 days, on Oct. 1, I did a blood draw. Yup, she’d gotten pregnant, with Samson … or so I thought. Turns out, she was already pregnant when she arrived. Very pregnant. According to my calculations, she’d be having her first baby the end of May. However, on Tuesday, Charlie, pictured here, was born. Who was the lucky guy that beat Samson to the …

Sully. A guy named Sully. Oh well.

Welcome Charlie!!!! (Properly Charles.) Just poor timing, with winter already here and temperatures hovering around 15 F the first night you were born. Just glad we found you in time to get you inside.
