New Calf

Recently, a red and white Holstein calf was born here at our farm. 

Annika's red & white calf Her parents are black and white Holsteins that have some red and white in their ancestry.  I wish she would stay this color, but we’re told she will look more black and white as she gets older.

Calves are so cute. I remember the days of calving, but I am now enjoying my retirement from farming.

She's a beauty! Maybe you'll get lucky and she will stay red/white. A friend here had a small dairy and she had a red/white born of black/white parents and sure enough the little heifer stayed red/white.

I remember the days of calving when we lived/worked in Idaho. I had many a calf in my bathtub due to cold, frigid temps and bad mamma cows!

Oh I'd been so hoping you'd post some cow photos. Even better - a calf!
