Calving 2025

Abit different update. Three newborns at my own place, not my mom's. The first calving season for my own herd. Three heifers calved all with heifers.

Pure Parthenaise heifer! 285 days.
 
Why is she special. Would the cow be special to you?
Only the third Maine Anjou calf and second heifer. Add her colour, which I really wanted to get and her dam is a real good cow. So almost a perfect heifer was born. Needless to say I wanted it to be a heifer.
Her dam's first heifer just had her first calf- red with white blaze and is proving to be a very promising young cow, so more heifers from the same dam are more than welcome.
 
Your pastures look a lot better. The mud has turned to grass. That's a pretty calf. It will be nice to see it on it's feet and growing.
It got green real quick as we had been getting an enormous amount of rain for the past month.

And one from tonight from the dairy corner- brown swiss heifer out of sim x holstein heifer. Sexed straw, 282days gestation. The last dairy calf for this year. Used dairy on a couple dairy heifers, but will start using only beef bulls on them in the future.
