Update # 4 0f 8 born today @ 18°/ #5 Born

Cows name is on her head -3
Calf is doing Great
The ma used the loafing barn Finally a smart one

It is 8 here right now. The calf should be fine in the shelter out of the wind and dry. Some straw would not hurt. I am glad it went well.

I put straw in the back corner 8' out .Calf found it.

Smart man/ smart bull calf

Kinda like lambing in January around here. Glad they are doing good. Yup… keep them on some dry bedding and out of the wind. And dry them off good

I like it. Looks like the bird.

You guys need to Lamb/ Calve in a warmer climate--- --- I don't worry about my sheep at all untill the temps reach about 15 degrees.Of course almost all of my lambing is inside the barn -- I worry more about the wind and rain than I do the cold temps.

I have been enjoying watching the neighbors calve.

Nice action!!

Congrats keep it up, whatever your doing it seems to be working out well. Good luck.

we had one born today as well number 8 out of 16...
this one is my favorite so far..

Lambing and calving is definetely a special time of year -- full of great joy and great heartbreak -- long hours and lack of sleep -- wouldn't trade it for anything.

The Neighbors Calve? Or their cows? LOL!

That's Awesome
Is that a bull calf?

330 trapper that calf should have been named "thumbs up" look at the mark on the forehead.........jk

Nice looking calf’s, we put one next to barn yesterday, been just a year since she calved last.

Another Nice looking calf.

When I raised pigs they always waited till the coldest day of the year to deliver.

Lucky she used the barn. I've had cows walk a half mile over bare ground to calve in a snow drift. Sometimes they make you shake your head.

Change in weather always brings them on, I’m glad you’ve been having a good calving season.

My Wife named it "The bird" or bird

Meet 5 of 8
No name for this Spunky Heifer yet
Her MA Razzy is our first Cow we bought after my Stroke

This calf is already a handfull

Put the little things in the shed. We might get dumped on tomorrow night. At least for a day or two.

Besides an easy calving, this is the Greatest sight to see for This cattle guy!

Yeah otherwise you’d be finding the colostrum and bottle feeding it about every 6 hours.

soxy.

unfortunately yes would have liked a heifer...

Why is that? Bull calf will be cut fed and sold at some point, right? You need to replace a heifer or 2?

My friend puts the bulls in to have the cows calve in mid May on grass and sunshine. Says it’s the best decision he’s ever made.

Why is that had to figure out? Do you think there is a reason the deer fawn then?
