She was born today from my favorite cow, April. Her daddy is our bull, Armstrong. I have been waiting for this cow to give us a heifer calf for many years. She has only given us bull calves until today.





Of course, she calved in the only spot that had nasty weeds I haven't mowed yet (thanks to last year's round bales). She was good to hide her baby, I suppose.

She's cute! And she looks big! She should grow well on all that milk in mama's udder.

Congratulations!

[littlecowfl]

Thanks, guys! This is the only calf we expect this summer. April had a little tryst with the bull a bit earlier than the others.

Congratulations!! She's cute.

Congratulations! Perhaps you should look to breed April for summer calves to get more heifers   though I imagine summer calving is pretty tough down there in FL.

[littlecowfl]

Yes, but April is a trooper. The rains helps to cool things down. I swear the barometric pressure drop before any precipitation gets the cows to calve.

[wvdexters]

Pretty little lady. I agree, it seems the pressure drop does seem to bring on calving sometimes.

April is a good milker. She raised two calves last year and never lost condition. She is such a good cow.

I added a video taken last night. April was coming up to see if I had put anything in the feeder for her. She knows she gets special feed when she has a new calf.
