bull calf is sired by Joshua from Maine/Florida
dam is Aten's Cindy out of Diesel
good lineage, we'll see if they are on the gifted and talented list
Cindy's first calf, Aten's Doris is also due to have her first calf, AI'd the same time as her dam.
bull number two, named Judah, born 12/27/12
hot and steamy just out of the "hot tub" and into the cold.
He stayed warm all night but had us worried as he wouldn't stay in the calf shed with his grandma. His uncle Nicholas was born Christmas Eve. The two new calves are brothers from their common father E&H Joshua but uncle and nephew in that Judah's dam is daughter of Nicholas' dam. If that isn't confusing, the younger cow is not only daughter of the older cow but sister on her father's side, coming out of Roussseau Farm Diesel.
two bulls, brothers or uncle/nephew?
dams are mother/daughter but also sisters by the same sire
new video of the calves together at http://youtu.be/mbR9I_OGmBM
should I sell them as bulls, sell/eat them as steers, trade one for a heifer?
