Baby Boom 2016

First-Calf Heifer #206 started off our 2016 fall calving season by presenting us with a fine bull on August 28th.
Picture
Bill named the calf Petey, after the dog in the Little Rascals/Our Gang television series of the 1950’s; although our Petey only has the black spot on one eye, not the black circle around the other eye.
 
FCH #206 is the daughter of our only Hereford cow that, unfortunately, is no longer with us because she didn’t have enough milk to sustain her heifer last year. Bill has saved several of her daughters as replacement heifers because she previously had the milk flow to raise good calves and she had a gentle disposition. Even if we no longer have Hereford, we have the bloodline.
 
Here’s are a couple of pics from 2014 of Hereford and FCH #206 as a calf only a few days old.

And here’s the new mama, nuzzling and giving Petey his post-supper bath. Hereford would be so proud!

​The new calf count is at 11, but that could change any minute!
