#20 is my friendliest cow. She’ll let me pet her sometimes. Anyway, she gave birth to #39, a beautiful brown baldy bull on February 19th. When I came back in the afternoon, I found 2 more new calves! #40 was born to Brownie. He is a light brown bull. #41 was born to an untagged… Continue reading 3 Calves in One Day

#35 and #36 were born on the same day — Valentine’s Day
Ninja #6 (she is very shy and sometimes I forget I have her because she always hangs in the back away from me) gave birth to #35, a black heifer with some white markings. #413 was a calf when I bought her in the summer of 2021. She was born probably in March of that… Continue reading #35 and #36 were born on the same day — Valentine’s Day

#10 Retained Placenta
#10 gave birth on January 30th, 2024 to a beautiful bull #27. This was our 3rd calf of 2024. Mother and baby were all healthy. After a few days, I noticed that she hadn’t passed her placenta or afterbirth. This is a fairly rare condition called retained placenta. By day 4, I knew something had… Continue reading #10 Retained Placenta
