2024: Calf 12 - 70's

Yesterday, April 20, cow 70 finally had her calf.  This is the first calf for 70.  The calf was not a big calf so that was good for a first-time mother.   The calf is a heifer.  Since the calf is born on 4-20 I think I will name the calf: Mary Jane.

Donn wasn't around to help me ear tag the calf.  It took a bit to do as the calf moved around and wanted to get up.  But I got it done.

One cow left to have her calf.  Last year that cow had her calf June 23.  So I imagine she will have her calf the middle to end of May this year.

You can see the size difference between the first-born calf and this new calf.
