[QUOTE="waihou, post: 850177, member: 6511"] And here is another NZ spring 2011 calf! [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v439/SUEC/DSC06132.jpg[/img] Thank goodness the mud has dried up a bit, even though we had a bit of snow fall around here on Monday-which is a rarity this close to sea level (about 100ft) in this area of the North Island NZ. Calving started 2 days ago, with a big,dead bull calf no apparent reason, perhaps he was backwards and drowned before his head was out. So this heifer is officially our first calf for the season. The cow is a pure bred Murray Grey, 2006 born. She has had 4 calves, all heifers. She calved on 21st September last year, 311 days ago and this heifer was a 284 day pregnancy so she has come forward 9 weeks. Havn't weighed her yet but I imagine she will be around 37kgs (84lbs.?)
