These are three Holstein steer calves we bought from our neighbor who is a dairy farmer. They are about 12 weeks old in this picture. |
|
Here's our latest calf. This little heifer was born on July 27th. |
|
Here's another pic of our latest calf with her mother. This is our first calf born to a cow that was born on our farm. The mother was born in July of 1999. |
|
Here's the first calf born on our farm this year. This little heifer was born on July 9th. |
|
This little bull (now a steer) was our second calf born, on July 10th. |
|
Here's calf number two with her mama. |
|
This is a sad picture. In the foreground is our third calf, a little bull (now steer) that was born early on the morning of July 11th. It had a twin brother who did not survive, which is in the background. |
|
This is an even sadder picture. Here is the mother of the dead twin, standing over him. It's been said that if you have livestock, then you will sometimes have "dead stock" as well. It's just sad when it happens, though. |
|
Here's a happier picture of the surviving twin with his mother the next day. The sunshine on their faces kind of remind us of God's grace to them. |
|
Here's our fourth calf that was also born on July 11th. This little heifer is a cutie! |
|
Hey, wait for me! This is calf number two following her mama. |
|
Breakfast time! Here is calf number two enjoying an early morning meal. |
