[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1787006, member: 19683"] Today's newborn. Sired by hard calving Parthenaise bull ( really hoped for a heifer), bull calf, 286days gestation. Will weigh him abit later, but he doesn't seem to go over 110lbs. Dam is 3/4 lim, 1/4 dairy. However, he sure had a stresfull first day. Crows decided that his leg was a good snack... thankfully just his leg... [ATTACH type="full"]25817[/ATTACH] His sire: [ATTACH type="full"]25818[/ATTACH] That's the only his calf here for now. Wanted to try him on a proven cow to test his real calving difficulty. His calving ease index is 86, while 100 is average with everything going up being easier calved and going down being harder calved. This calf is far from being what I expected him to look like, but another cow could produce a huge one. That's just how genetics work. Another cow is on 298th day with blonde. Looks like bulls year! 6:1 now [/QUOTE]
