Newest Little Additions To The Herd + Cute Calf Pictures

Hey everyone! I hope you weekend is off to a great start. Within the last week or so, we welcomed a couple of new additions to our herd. So today, I wanted to introduce them to all of you. I hope you enjoy!

Several months back we bought about 5 Registered Red Dexter Heifers from a farm a couple of states over. They were all Red, Homozygous Polled, and carry the A2/A2 variant in their milk, so there calves should all be the same since they were bred to a bull who was Red, A2/A2. Three of them look like they actually did not get bred until they reached our farm and that means we will have to test them to see if they carry the A2/A2 gene in their milk. This is more of the direction that we were wanting to take our Dexter herd, so we were excited to see these little ones that we knew were the whole package. Our biggest thing is that we were hoping for little girls to ultimately be able to expand the size of our herd. Here they are!

We were lucky. They were both little red heifers and they are going to be keepers to help expand our herd. They are 1 1/2-to-3 weeks old. We still have three more to give birth, but it looks like they maybe Fall or even Winter calves. So, we will have to try to get them back in line with the others to have Spring calves. I do enjoy seeing all the little calves running around and it is one of my favorite times of year.

Thanks for reading and stopping by!

Beautiful heifers. I hope your dream of a growing herd will become true.

Thank you @ronaldoavelino! It will take some time, but I think we will get there.

Oh my goodness they are too cute!

This is the best stage for calves and it makes for some really great pictures. Thanks for stopping by!
