Galloway babies

[Galloways1]

Here is some of our 2010 calf crop, for some of those that have never seen young Galloway calves. Feedback is welcomed, I have been raising them for almost 30 years. I have heard just about everything.

They are cute! Especially the little 2040, basking in mom's attention. How big are they?

 

[Galloways1]

They are all born between 70-83 lbs out of mature cows. In the pictures they are around 3 weeks old.

cute and hairy! Look healthy

 

[Galloways1]

Thanks, the hair sure helps when it's -20 F, kinda helps soften the "Welcome into the world", that ND gives them.

They are VERY cute!! Love the "tongue-lashing" one... hehe

I never realized calves could be so furry!!! :lol2:

 

[Galloways1]

Thanks, that's their double haircoat, they are born with it.

Looking good guys! Are they all out of Pericles or did you use multiple sires?

 

[Galloways1]

Thanks, they are all out of Pericles. They have been everything we expected. Low birth weight, full of vigor, and growing well. When are your first calves due?

Ours should hit anytime between April 23rd-August 23rd, with about 3 weeks lag time in the middle. Had to pull the bull out for a show right in the middle, then keep him out for a couple weeks to make sure he didn't bring back the "bug" that was going around the barns. Just a waiting game now! Expecting 13 :banana: ...and hoping for no problems :secret: !
