Little calf

[tex452]

We bought her from the sale born, I think our red angus bull bred her, this has got to be the smallest calf he has thrown.
Nice tiger stripe cow, she has a good bag and is not old.

I bought a nice big red angus mid aged cow from a herd sell out. Bred 7 months. The cows in the sell out were nice, big and healthy. She was discounted because she has a spot in one eye.

The cow got big as boat before she calved only to throw a little dumpy calf that looked like a miniature. Healthy as can be but only about 50 lbs. You could look at the cow after calving and not tell any difference than the week before she calved. What a disappointment. She will make a nice packer cow come summer.

We'll move her late winter/early spring, it's a spunky calf just a dink.
We had one born like this on a different cow last spring, already bred when we bought her , the calf took off and grew very good.
