Pippy Long Stockings has large white heifer 6/5/13- Liberty

Pippy finally had her first calf- a large white heifer with black points and black crown named Liberty.  Weighed in at 92 pounds- took four to pull her out.  Both mother and daughter took a long time before they finally stood up.  Pippy was born the same way (named Becky then).  Sire of newborn- James Henry with the same coloring.

Forty Five Red Tipped Heifer Delivers Black Tipped Bull 5/26/13

45- the white heifer with red points that I have been watching for days finally delivered in an isolated swale 5/26/13.  They were both skittish so I'm guessing the little white guy with black points is a bull.  He's just learning to walk and his first wobbly run went right over the top of a stump!  Hard to believe that just last Sunday we had six inches of new snow.

Number 9 has Black Girl 5/12/13

Big number 9 cow had a good sized black heifer on 5/12/13.  I found them away from everyone else and had finally found the calf and checked its gender when it jumped up at a dead run and was even scared of mom.  Eventually she caught up with the calf and they worked things out.

The robins and the swallows all arrived in the same couple of days around the 11th.  Late this year for the robins and earlier than last year for the swallows.   The robin songs and the swallow skeeter eatin are all appreciated.

#12 Has Girl-5/7/13

#12 Older cow had a girl that was still dripping wet on 5/7/13.  She is white with black points and favored with a lot better weather than the rest have had.

So far eight heifers and three bulls.

#5 Delivers - Black Bull

#5 had a little black boy on May 5, 13.

New Herd Bull comes out of Quarantine

Meet our new bull.  Number is 43X.  Needs a name.  The federal vet inspected him and let us take him out of quarantine.  He is with the rest of the boys until July when his new career starts in Alaska.

Tierra #2 Alpha has white heifer 5/3/18

Tierra #2 went off to the snow banks to have her calf- a large white heifer with black points and a black crown.  She had picked her spot yesterday but was interrupted with the carrot delivery and came up to eat.  She is being a good mother and tucked the calf on a small spot of bare ground but it is cold with freezing rain.
