We are just getting started calving. These 2 are #'s 7 and 8.

This one was born at 6 am this morning. DH got out there just as she hit the ground. Only reason they went in the barn was because I wasn't sure if the calf had sucked. And with -9 and a wind, better safe than sorry. This is our 'herd marker' cow. The calf will make a good marker too, it is a heifer. Anyone want to guess the weight? Cow is about 1000 lbs, she is just a little thing.









And this one was born right around noon. As you can see mama was just getting him cleaned off when I got there. This one is out of a heifer.

Very pretty!!!! what breed are they again?

Well, the first one is sired by a Black Angus bull, what the cow is, is anyones guess, but there is probably some Longhorn in there, probably some angus too.

The second is out of a Shorthorn x heifer and a Red Angus bull.
