This is my Cow ASV Vilari Reg# 1409839; I call her Lady. I got Lady as a six month old heifer and she was my 4-H breeding project. In this picture Lady is just about to give birth to her first Calf.
My Mom told me that I will always remember my first boyfriend, my first
car, my first heifer and the first calf. I think that is most likely
true about any first that happens in a persons life.
Because this is Lady first calf I set and waited for hours just in case Lady needed help; I am happy to say she did great; Lady said moo and her calf was there. I was lucky to be given straws to BJR JR 107 and all I was hoping for was a healthy calf to hit the ground.
On April 7 2012 Lady gave birth to bouncing baby boy (a healthy Bull calf) I call him Junior (CCI JR Cherokee Classic Reg# 1524773).
As with all babies all Junior did was eat,
Sleep, and poop!
But before to long he was up and checking out to new big world around him, and growing like a weed.
Here are just a few pictures; the days turned into weeks and the weeks to months.
