Calving barn hay is done and stacked !

Born this afternoon a fantastic heifer calf from Lonestone Baron 128D and Ms Bedrock 56D. I thought it was a bull calf when it first started coming. Baron has proven himself as a fantastic herd builder. Our hope is Baron will mature and keep pace with his sire Mr Baron 326Z.

My Friday night breach ended up with rear feet knuckled under. So we splinted the knuckles with a pair of socks, doubled up tounge depressors and duct tape. Should straighten out in a couple days once the tendents get stretched out. Mama always said to wear comfortable shoes....

Missing the fall green grass today, after a foot of snow....

Friday night breach birth. Everthing turned out good so far.

Baron and Exvius home in there winter pen. No more ladies until summer 2021.

Second set of twins today. Only 4 cows birthed and we have 6 calves... Not liking this ratio with 45 cows left to go. (knock on wood). Both are bull calves.

When at 5:00 am you notice a cow has been struggling for a couple hours and you reach in and feel 3 front feet.

Our commercial Simmental cross heifer calves are doing well this summer. There will be a select few for sale this fall.

This bull calf is coming nicely. He is going to be a big boy judging by his frame. The product of an Envoy mother and a Baron 128D sire.

Monday night cow check with Miss Georgia. "You can sell any cow on the farm.. except Ursala". I have been told. She is Georgia's 12 year old Simmental / South Devon cross.
