One of our purchased heifers calved today. Her herd is in a large area which we haven’t divided into lots yet. This is unfortunate because cows are excellent at placing their new calves where they are sure to not be found and this heifer is no exception. The grass in this particular lot is up to my waist so I’ll just have to wait her out and keep the scale at the ready.
Breeding season started August 28th and it is our hope that this heifer and another one, also due anytime, will quickly breed back and calve at the same time as the other girls in 2014.
