[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1725565, member: 19683"] As every year, here is a new thread about our farm's calving season. We did start calving in December for the new season, but it was just one calf and kinda an ooops calf- weanling bull bred one cow. An official start was yesterday. So first, here is December born heifer. 116lbs, born unassisted, 287 days gestation. 61,5% limousine. Second pic done at 19days age. The last pic is the sire.

Actually, his dam was my first AI work and she thankfully held. The calf's sire is Dutch improved red beef bull. The calf probably is the first calf sired by this breed born in my country. Very strong and lively calf. He was still wet when had to walk from the feeding area to the shed and he walked all the distance on his own legs almost without any falling.
