Nineteen and Counting

We now have nineteen calves with both Topanga and Roz looking like they are within a week of calving.

The herd sire has been moved over to the main herd. New babies in the main herd will be born starting late February 2016.

Only half of the babies have ear tags at this point. We like to wait almost a month before we put the ear tags in. Those little ears are just not strong enough to hold the weight of the tag. Even though it wouldn’t hurt the baby, they are just sad looking when they have a droopy ear!

The mild weather that we have been having is agreeing with the newborns. The babies are doing well and growing like crazy. It’s fulfilling to see the herd healthy and happy.
