Son's heifer had 1st calf

[idylglade1]

Our son's heifer had her 1st calf 3 weeks ago. 88 pound bull calf. She had her own adgenda, 1 week early, unassisted, calf up and nursing in a half hour. My son is so happy. Nice to have some joy after a long hard winter. Just thought I would share.

Good for you! Is so nice when they do it the easy way :nod:
I am not sure what you are saying "after" a long hard winter.
Snowed all night here, so I am assuming you are plowing at your house again today

Congrats on your new baby :banana:

Yes we are still plowing, I think we got 14" and another 1-2 last nite! Tired of this white crap!

Not trying to make you two feel bad or anything, but for ONCE it missed here! :banana: Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

idylglade, was this the son who had surgery? If so how is the recovery going?

When my daughters first heifer calved she was at a track meet in Brainerd. She was sooooo bummed out that she missed it. Congrats to him on the new addition!

Yes, he got his cast off about 2 weeks ago and he is slowly training for track. It is unbelievable how just 4 months ago he was in peds icu, and we were not sure of his outcome! He is back to doing light chores and taking care of his cattle, it really helped boost his mood to get back out with his cows. He can tell the weather changes ,his back kills him with the changes. But he is so lucky to be where he is today! Thanks for asking!
