painted doorframe of kitchen door with red gloss today. this leads to the back porch. Sister ruined her coat with the paint, son ruined his uniform jumper with paint , any ideas how to get it off

Was that the paint for the 35?

Let me clarify about the calving camera situation.
We have a house which we renovated that is very close to the shed.
It is in direct view of the parents house as the crow flies!:)

A jog (whilst nice) down a hill, i a muddy lane and back again every 6 hours is tiring
Cow I'm watching changed in 3 hours last year, wildest cow in the place so cannot feel her at all. 2 ft is the closest I can get to her. She was due on xmas eve so I'm just a wee bit worried.

J-F christ so do I. Only used the bull a few times before and got 2 sets of twins within 24 hours last year!
Although it's to do with the cow, we were very confussed!

No, but there's another lady next to her that is showing signs of those.

Plus one other in a different pen due in April! Slung and heavy.
Pray to the Laaawds not twins or aout else is all I can do!

With a ch in a sm and a difficult cow to handle at how many days would you induce her? KM how many days did she go last year, and did she calf herself?

Several times over the years we talked about inducing, but we never actually do it. I've seen a few cows go over 300 days. 302 I think is the longest we've had. The BA can bring a bit of time. I suppose if everything looks healthy it one thing, but if you feel there's something not right its another!

i had to induce a AA X cow a week early last year as she was down in the shed, calf was fine and cow up after so all turned out well, the one and only time I have done it
