Jillian 5/29/11

Just "happened" to go by in the afternoon while showing Borough Manager John Moosey the place when we noticed that Jillian was trying to deliver her calf.  She was obviously having trouble so I called Sabrita and ran home to get out of Sunday clothes.  We both had to pull quite a while to get the little heifer out.  She was walking before mom was but both front feet are doubled back.  Had to get Jillian in the barn the next morning so the calf could drink.  She cleaned the calf off and took possession of the calf but wouldn't let it drink.  Being mommy is quite perplexing to her.

One more- 5/9/11

Number six had a bull with black or charcoal points.

#28 Lost in Birthing May 1, 2011

Nice heifer couldn't deliver because the calf presented with the front feet doubled back.

April Showers bring Four Calves 4/27/11

Chloe Has another Heifer 4/26/11

Matriarch Chloe had a large healthy heifer this morning.  Still dripping wet.

Chocolate 4/24/11

Number 18 who kicked me in the chute a couple of weeks ago delivered an unusually colored chocolate heifer.  She is healthy and skittish.

2011 Calves have Arrived 4/18

 First this year was from my mini cow- a heifer with chocolate points.

 Second was from 34- another heifer with charcoal points.  These two heifers were born together in the same place and are already running around together.  They will be bonded for life.











This little guy below- was still wet and born to one of Chloe's calves- #8 in the very far end of the pasture in extreme privacy.  Very little color on his points.
