First calf born on the farm with pictures

[Heavenly Springs Farm]

This morning my mid-size jersey had a beautiful bull calf out of a mini Jersey bull. She is being a wonderful mother and calf is doing great. I just had to share. I am very excited to have him here.

I love his head.

The flies are really bad here right now. What is the best thing to put on him? She won't stop licking him which isn't helping.

Congratulations! Is that Feline? He IS super cute!

I like a spray called, "Ultra Shield" but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be good for her to lick.....

Yes it is Celine's calf. She is such a great mother. I have some fly spray but I don't want to put it on him when she is licking him.

Well I meant that the sire is a mini Jersey bull. The dam is a mid-size Jersey.

Dam flies - Bad this year and I hate em. If you spray the naval and make sure his butt stays clean I would let her carry on licking him and not fly spray. It sounds like she has really bonded with the little guy - Congratulations

great looking calf!!! we have a bottle calf and he is just a little stinker. for your flies, let some chickens in, they should eat the larva and that should cut down on some flies.
