[QUOTE="DaletheDairyFarmer, post: 547835, member: 7846"] Well MM at least your calf is big enough to have value. 3 weeks ago I bought 2 Jersey springers both registered bred to sexed semen from Semex bull named Senior, supposed to be 91% chance of heifer calves. 1st one calved no problem heifer, nice calf, 2nd one calves week later BLACK BULL calf. Now Purebred Jersey calves are always reddish tan when born get thier color later if they are going to have any, so I'm scratchin my head. Called the guy I got them from, good friend, he said he would look into it as they were at a neighbors when they got bred. He called yesterday seems that that guy had a nice black heifer calf born out of one of his Holstein cows. Ooops he must have switched the semen when he bred them so Steve is going to give me the remaining 3 shots of sexed semen to make it right. I sold the black bull calf and got $3 after trucking. not much value in a 62 lb crossbred bull calf. But good news is momma is doing well and giving 55 lbs right out of the starting gate. Good luck with your little guy! [/QUOTE]
