Subject: Bang On 80% In The First 21 Days, I'm Happy With That. (8 Pics)



Sandy Hook, MB

Hello All

80% calved in the first 21 days. Only 1 two day old calf died, that was born during a 30 hr rain at just above freezing, that I found in the mud & water. Not sure if this was the contributing factor in it's death, or just 1 of the possible many factors??? Not a good sign this morning starting out the second cycle though, I found the kind of calf that I hate, a big, dead bull calf this morning. I prefer small, live calves. Oh well, she did push it out on her own, at least no vet bill.



My first born.



Cow that I had saved earlier on when she rolled on her back. Every time that I go check on them, I tell her to make sure that she keeps her feet under her, or else I'll have to get the tractor & pull her over again. I can tell that she's thankful that I saved her life. Well hers & her calf's. She calved yesterday morning, so I saved 2 lives that day.

1 of the tan/white face calves from a Black Baldie cow. 



Some silver calves.



It kind of looks like I've got every colour under the rainbow in my herd now. But I do have a breeding plan, they're not mongrels.



Pair. These pics were taken on the 14th.

Reason for edit: Typo.
