we have 4 highroller calves on the ground. first one was born 8 days early at 86# (came out of a big 2nd calf heifer). He is by far our favorite. I wish I knew how to post pictures on here. hes pretty, seems to be the hairiest of our 3. next 2 were heifers, nothing special, smaller around 70#. one was out of a 2nd calf heifer, shes ok but will probably go to the sale barn. the other came out of a first time dairy heifer. She's growing good and I think will end up being a nice heifer for someone. the last one came out of a fat show heifer, had to pull him. he weighed in at 89#. that pair belongs to a friend, but I think hes growing decent. He's got lots of hair, but so does him mama.
I wish they all looked like that first bull calf. We intend on leaving him a bull and either keeping him for ourselves or selling to my father in law. He was born Feb 5th and he is definitly too big to band with our little green bands.
