Our whoopsie child -video

[glacierridge]

My brother grabbed the wrong straw when the momma was in heat, of course she would settle, and hate to waste a calf especially when you have an experienced cow, she's a solid red 1/2 Belgian Blue out of Cherry Bomb, her calf is by BB Fabricant.
We still breed BB, but typically lower % BB, we wanna hover closer to the 50% for easy calving.
But.
This oops will be useful to us.
In our experience high % momma's make scale busting calves, so not gonna let her go.
We won't forget that she has more BB (like we did on mom), she'll make some nice SimmyX calves for us I'm sure.
Kelly, our little mistake
Just under a month here

Can't wait to see the pictures when she's six months old!!! I enjoyed the pictures of your BB cattle.

Here's one of my neighbor's BB x Angus calves out of a commercial Angus cow and a registered BB bull. He's just three months old in that pic.

some nice width, just wait as he ages.

I need get a pic of the sole full blooded BB calf they have. A pretty black baldy that is.

Anne, that is a beautiful heifer. She is so pretty, she doesn't look real. What a magnificent rump she has. I can't imagine what she is going to look like when she grows up. So sweet!
I love her colors, she looks like she is made of chocolate and white chocolate.

Sometimes mistakes turn out to be some pretty good steaks or stakes. Nice Anne.

 

[Chuckie]

Good looking calf Taurus

 

[branguscowgirl]

She is beautiful!!!

I find myself coming back to look at your little heifer. I have decided that she is the perfect cow to put in the pasture with some Appaloosa horses, and no one would be able to tell the difference unless they looked really hard. She has a spectacular back side.

Will you keep us posted on her growth? I would love to see her at different stages.

 

[glacierridge]

Well the lady that asked us to name the calf after her was out to see her today, so here Kelly the calf is about one month and one week old. Was born July 12th.
This is a back side shot

Kelly scratching Kelly's butt. She said she's jealous.
Lol. Said she's a rockstar

Her son James with Kelly, he's around 6'

 

[Chuckie]

Wow, she has really grown. She is so pretty and has such a sweet face too.

Today I got to take a field trip to Glacier Ridge and see Kelly first hand. I will say she is not what some would consider normal but she is a very nice calf. That calf is all muscle. I think even if you would take out the DM you would still have a nice calf just based on her age and size. It will be neat to see what she looks like a year from now.

 

[Chuckie]

She is 75% Belg. Blue, so she is going to be double muscled. I love her color.

 

[glacierridge]

Sad news...

She took real sick and didn't respond to any treatment.
Lost her.
Sigh.

Sucks when you have plans and kids want them for a project calf.
=(

How's the other BB calf (Jack Frost) doing?

 

[highgrit]

That stinks.

 

[glacierridge]

How's the other BB calf (Jack Frost) doing?

Jack is fine.
Holly will stay another year too.

 

[glacierridge]

That stinks.

Yeah it does.
Thanks highgrit
