New Calves



Over the past two days we've had two new calves. One a Majors Money Man bull calf out of a Dr. Who x Heat Seeker heifer. The other a purebred hereford heifer sired by DB Hard Drive ET out of a Star Moose cow. The Money Man calf was 70lbs and unassisted. The Hard Drive was 95lbs and backwaards, so we had to pull her, but her and the dam are doing well today(just born yesterday). A month ago(before I started blog) we had a purebred hereford heifer sired by Purple Tonic 10M out of my hereford show heifer from last year who is a Remitall Online x C-S Boomer 29,she was 3 weeks earlier and weighed 66lbs.F. She is a full sib the Div. 10 Champion at the 2009 Hereford Jr. Nationals, Res. Champ herf heifer at the Indiana State fair Jr. Show, and Illiniois State Fair Open Show. Some of the best genetics in the breed reside in this cow!!! This is the second Purple Tonic calf we've had on the farm and they are by far the easiest calving and most VIGOROUS calves by far. We still have two more to calve out, one a purebred hereford and the other a percent maine! We have our fingers crossed that these next calvings will go as good as the previous ones.
