Angus
Angus was born April 26th, at about midnight. He is a beautiful Angus/Guernsey cross bull calf. Kit was a bit perplexed after he was born, probably not sure what to do with this little package. She knew she needed to lick him and not step on him so that was a start!
Kit settled down the following day and was even more easy going the day after that. She is my favorite milk cow now! Ginny, my Jersey, is a great momma cow and is easy to milk, but Kit is so laid back that it makes every part of chore time so much easier. Because her back teats were so short I decided to learn how to milk with a machine this year. So after countless adjustments and switching back and forth from a Surge belly milker and a DeLaval style milker, we have finally got a good routine down. She has been patient and easy going through all of those changes.
Ginny and Peanut
Ginny is finally gaining weight and looking sleek and shiny, Peanut is just as tall as she is now and looking more and more like a Jersey every day. He is next year’s beef which will be our first year to have our own beef, yahoo!
Angus and Audrey
Angus is about 5 weeks old in this photo. He has already grown and filled out quite a bit. He has a white star and a white stripe down his belly! Audrey likes to take him for walks runs and tie him out to eat during the day. That is it for now, tomorrow is an early hay day for us. We will be picking up hay from the old home and will take some pics for the blog…
