2 More Calves!

[cjc]

I added two more bottle calves today! Picked them up for $100 each. They are 5 day old heifer calves. Now that brings me to 4 bottle calves and 1 on the field with mama. Still waiting on 2 more calves this year.

One of them has blue eyes, so we will name her Blue. Not sure what we will name the one on the left yet. They are both Angus X Holsteins.

We had a calf with one blue eye but it was a defect that eventually went away as she got older......2 blue eyes, I'm not really sure. If she can see, and they don't look cloudy or swollen I would just guess you have a blue eyed calf. From the picture she looks okay, and it may be temporary like how kittens can sometimes have blue eyes and they change as they get older.

Awww... having a blue eyed cow batting her lashes at me would be great! I'll bet that would sell some milk!

It's not unheard of. It's more of a genetic rarity than anything, and doesn't mean any bad thing to the calf. Some cattle will have this right into adulthood, but that's extremely rare. So really, it's nothing to worry about.

It does make the animal look a little more "creepy" though because you can actually see the rectangular retina than just a big brown eyeball. Like with this water buffalo:
