First off the block this season is one of the two-year-olds, with a tiny bull sired by a yearling bull I used because he was born easily enough to his own 2yr-old mother.
Always reassuring when the first calf is easy.
The heifer is 3/4 Angus with some Hfd/Jersey back a bit. Her mother has produced some lovely cows and is about to calve in the next day or two as well.
The R2 heifers are in better condition than I feared, after a tough, cold winter and spring hasn't warmed up much at all yet. I'm grass-only.
I don't reckon you can tell much at all from a calf photo, other than their prettiness because they're new.
