Buttercup in heat

Well, as expected, our first attempt at insemination was a bust. Buttercup came into heat today. Emily will be out this evening to try again. If she successfully settles this time, she'll be due July 15th, which is Evan's birthday. He'll be thrilled, I'm sure. (Evan doesn't like coming out to the farm at all, and since he's 18 there's not a thing I can do about it. Makes me sad.)
