My Mama Bosk...
I sit in the herds most everyday.. Its nice and peaceful there.. I had been watching this certain bosk that was heavy with a baby... reallly heavy... The other morning I could not find her standing around with the others.. And then I heard her.. bellowing... I jumped up and moved swiftly towards the sound. and there she was.. laying there panting.. her eyes looked for forlorn... I petted her head and told her I was there and would not leave her...I crouched down and looked her over.. and then scooted over behind her.. where I could just see the top of the baby's head.. She was trying to push but nothing was happening...
Seve rode up and asked what I was doing.. and I explained.. she looked as concerned and as confused as I did.. Neither of us had ever birthed a bosk.... She said she would go and get help.. thankfully Tarra was about.. and she came.. and so did Asria..
Tarra asked us to keep the Mama calm.. while she checked her over.. You could see her hands move over the mama and she knew what was wrong... Tarra is amazing.. and I adore her. Anyway it seems a leg was in the way and it had to be moved.. so as we all eased the mama.. while Tarra did her thing... and out he popped the biggest baby bull I had ever seen... I wondered who's it was... so I think it was Asria that said check the brand and notch... I did.. it was the Ubars..
Tarray said it was a good sign... I though how Ironic. Here all this time I was caring and watching his cow.. and never knew it.. Not that it would have made a difference.. Bosk are so very important to us.. to lose one.. would be heartbreaking.. but to lose another and a bull no less would be unthinkable..
I tried to catch him last night to tell him... but he had other things to do.. and then I think he forgot.. :smiles: I realize I am not on his list of important people to see and be with.. but I am sure someone will tell him about the bosk..
I am just grateful they are both fine.. and when I checked on them this morning.. he was already running around like he owned the place..
