Thank you for the comments.
Yes George they are mainly out of our Churchill bull. There are the ones out of our heifer bull. Got the one from the AI to GH Rambo. Thought we had 1 more calf coming out of the AI but the cow has gone past the due date and the 21 days we kept her in, so no more Rambo calves.
Have 10 left to calve out. Should be interesting. Looking at doing some DNA testing on these last ones, had the Churchill bull and our new bull "Bear" out there, just want to know who the sire is on them.
Real nasty last night. Did some checks, this type of storm is a calf killer.
Found 2 cows and a calf huddle on the off wind side of our pump house. Found 3 pairs together in the trees, one cow had her calf standing next to her out of the wind and the other 2 cows were standing where 2 trees had grown together their calves were bedded down at the base of the trunks out of the wind.
The rest were up in the straw we rolled out. There was one spot with hardly any snow on it and that is where they were bedded down. Some cows were laying next to their calves and some were bunched together blocking the wind.
Only one calf was off by itself. I checked her carefully and she was not shivering, just wet.
A long nigt of worry.
Sorry Ace the 038 came out of our last first year heifer to calve. He is out of our bull Red.
