[QUOTE="lakeportfarms, post: 629802, member: 9413"] Quick update on the calf. She's doing really well, and since we've had a huge thaw and warmer temps we have seen her perk up considerably. She is now working on the back teats, spending more time outside, and even saw her running around a little in the pasture. She's a real sweetie, we have no problem handling or petting her, and mom is pretty tolerant of us being around her most of the time, she gives us plenty of signs when she doesn't want us nearby. We still haven't had a chance to weigh her but she appears to be gaining very well. We leave a stall open in the barn and both calf and mom can come and go as they please either inside or with shelter. Now we're ready for the next ones to come along! I think our next one due is a red Scottish Highland, bred to a white color Highland bull. We're looking forward to seeing how that turns out color wise. Her last calf was from a black Highland bull, here is a picture of her at about 6 months. She's a real friendly calf too, but we keep our distance from mom as much as possible. I was really enjoying watching them in the fresh deep snow walking though the pasture. [img]http://www.ranchers.net/photopost/data/500/medium/Highland_Calf.jpg[/img] Hans [/QUOTE]
