New Calf pics. What about names? George? Frank?
Or how about something more feminine like Daphne, Prudence or Charlotte?

We have a brand new heifer born today at about 7:30pm. I am SOOOO excited.

I have been a bit worried because I haven't seen her latch on but she is walking around her Mom and acting interested. I think they have to drink colostrum within 12 hours, right? I actually had to run back into work so will check on her before I go to bed.

Just so you won't be mad at me... here's some pics

Congrats on the new heifer! She's perfect! My Jersey cow is due to calve in Aug. I hope I get a heifer too!

For names: Spring, Belle, Butter, love the name Daphne, I might steal it from you.

I like Daphne, although my 3-year-old would argue the case for Velma (she likes that Velma is smart).

Thanks for sharing pics! I've been watching and waiting along with everyone else.....I didn't offer any advice because I don't know anything yet~ but I've been waiting for word!

CONGRATS!
I like the name Daghne. But we named our two heifer calves Bessy and Bossy

Getting colostrum within 2 hours would be best. 12 hours is getting to be way too long before it's first meal.

She's adorable. I always liked feminine names for heiffers. For bull calves I didn't want to get too attached and used names like Sir Loin, T-bone, Beefy etc.
