We start progesterone testing today, and that will give me an idea of exactly how — and where — I will be spending the holidays.
I am incredibly excited about this breeding — and hopeful.
This is my last chance with Sparkle and so the priorities shifted a bit. All advantages to support success had to be in place; this is not the time in her reproductive life to take a risk.
We are going for it — are your Lucky Socks washed and ready?
Is your Bingo card ready? We have a winner…
Yep.
Oh, the things we do…
Have you ever heard of Cow Patty Bingo? Here in Montana we have a variation on the theme.
Our Bingo Card is the calendar…
Not that calendar! The Real One.
It has been eight months and six days since Sparkle has been in season. That means that she should be in season … oh … yesterday.
We will start progesterone testing eight days after she graces us with the start of her heat cycle.
About eleven days after that first day, we will need to get busy — you know what I mean.
BUT it is flipping DECEMBER! Calendar landmines are everywhere.
To save you from doing the math — and to let you play along at home — I created this official and handy Oh Sh!t Bingo Card.
Let the fun begin.
