Who's yer daddy (part II)?

[WalnutCrest]

Heifer calf born today to a 5yr old recip.

Calf is either a heifer embryo (embryo was created from sorted semen) ... or ... the result of natural bull service.

If an embryo, calf was due 4/14. Calf weighs 58lbs. This cow has never had a calf above 60lbs.

If an embryo calf, the sire is known for producing smaller-than-average calves. If a natural sire, it's the bulls first calf; he weighed 72 pounds at birth.

DNA tests will ensue.

What's yer guess? Who's the daddy?

I'm calling natural service.

Wife just reminded me that we put embryos in on two days last year --- and we have recips carrying calves out of both implants. The second round of implants are due in two days ... so, I guess there's the chance that it is an embryo calf that came a couple of days early and I mis-marked the ear tag! HA!

We'll see what the DNA test says.
