What a beautiful cow. Thanks for sharing. Springtime brings new babies and a new beginning. We are in the mist of calving here and could use a little warmer weather. It was -12 here last night.

Baby is a girl! Soooo darling, with very unique markings! She's all black except for the tiny tip of her tail and two symmetrical socks on her back hooves (which are white, and the front ones are black). She is just an angel doll, with huuuuge eyes and a darling dished face. Don't know what we'll call her yet! Daisy is being a super good mama. Can't wait for the delicious milk....

Lifes not about the breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away.
Just a small town country girl, farmgirl,loggergirl, trying to live her dreams. :)
P.s. I've been playing around with the spelling of my name ( weird I know) and I've decided that I will stick with Hannah for good. Sorry I got you all confused. Hugs!! |

She looks like Jersey in the face. Like my Roxie. Now do you let the calf stay with the mother or do you bottle feed her? She really is a cutie. And do you live in a subdivision? That is so cool!

Thanks ladies! Daisy is jersey/holstein and was bred back to an angus. I'm really surprised how much jersey is in the calf's face, Kris! It's very dominant with those big eyes and dish! :) She will stay with Daisy for a week or so and then we will separate them during the night and then put them together during the day. That way we can milk in the morning. :D Baby will get bottles for a while until she can make it through the night without. Sadly, we will be raising the baby for the freezer... :/ it's hard, but it's necessary. If she was a full dairy breed we would consider keeping her for milk but it's more important for us to have the meat.
We live in an agricultural neighborhood, with about 60 homes in it. It is set up somewhat like a tract home neighborhood, except that the homes are all custom with acreage, and livestock is permitted and no HOA! :D I love it!

Molly, the heifer I just took to the butcher was half Jersey and black angus. She was all black but more like a Jersey. Had the Jersey face and bone structure. I still have not called to see how much she weighed. I will tomorrow. She was 1 1/2 years old. That's great that you have no HOA's and can do whatever you want there. I was thinking if Mazie has a heifer I will trade her for a bull from my friend's herd. But I just took a heifer to be butchered so I guess it really doesn't matter, right?
