First Calf

I decided last night it was time to start doing night checks on the heifers. They were getting heavy enough that one was going to pop anytime now. I just got in from my 3 am check and guess what?

We had our first calf. Heifer number 118 was standing over her calf taking care of it when I got out there. Good mama she was she had it on her own and everything.

What an auspicious beginning.

Start every day off with a smile and get it over with. W. C. Fields

Good deal, Sam!
And good to see you've got some help, too.

I'll say Happy New Year now! We had our first one yesterday (out of a purebred cow we bought) but shouldn't have any more until April.
