Some people say you can predict the sex of a calf by the dam's poll hair in the last weeks of pregnancy. Neat, straight poll hair indicates a bull calf while messy poll hair means a heifer. Last year was the first year I paid attention.
Here's Ebby's poll hair in early April of 2015.
She had a bull calf, Seb.
Here's Ebby's poll hair today.
And one from yesterday--or should I call it "pole" hair, as in telephone pole?
I'm hoping this year's poll hair is just a little messier and spikier than last year's because I'd love a heifer. But let's take a poll: What do you think Ebby's having this year?
