You may remember UB1 and UB2 HERE from a few months ago. Well, UB1 calved last month and UB2 had her calf yesterday.
2 was out of a Hereford bull so J decided to go ahead and band him. Since he wasn't as familiar with this cow and the ones we have raised, he wanted me to come along in case she got mean.
But everything went smoothly and calf was back with mom in no time.
UB1's calf was apparently in the wrong place at the wrong time. (that is not mud on his shoulders) He is already a month old. Since he is out of an ultrablack bull too, J is keeping him as a bull for awhile to see how he does.
Looks like the deal has worked out so far.
UB3 and UB4?
ReplyDeleteHow many cows do you have? At least you aren't calving out in the snow like some of the ranches here.
