A new calf

[Farmer Kitty]

Today's calf. DH was wrong, the calf is alive! I was wrong, it's not red & white but RED!
Here is a pic of Mom I happened to have on hand-taken late last summer.

And the calf:

And it is.....








A bull calf. What else would it be?

I like that red cow!

Another bull calf?
How many stamps do you think it will take to send you my bull!

I have no clue! Probably more than we could afford between us! Somehow I don't think a beef bull is what I need either.

man i love that cow an calf.its a dang shame that he was a bull.your sil is rolling in new bottle babies.maybe you need to buy some heifer calves.

About the time we did that the next group would be all heifers. They'll come sooner or later.

BTW-Anyone want to guess the breed? They are a cross, I'll give you that much.

ill guess but i bet im wrong is it a jersey shorthorn cross.

You're half right. She's a Holstein/Jersey cross. Cheer's Grand-dam is half and half out of a black and white holstein of all colors! It's been red and white holstiens used since.
