2 calves in 1 day!
Amazing - 2 calves in 1 day, on our little 10 (now 11) cow farm - what are the odds? Both Regy and Betsy gave birth to beautiful little bull calves today, each sired by a bull called Nicholas (via artificial insemination). We’ve dubbed the little ones “Nick” and “Burke”. When Burke was half-born, Hugh exclaimed - “Mommy, we have a Holstein calf!”, due to the striking white markings all over his body - we kind of wish he was a girl, so we could keep him!
Regy’s calf, Nick, is remarkable because he is the first of our second generation animals - his mother, Regy, was born on our farm two years ago, when our adventure in dairy farming began. We look forward to many more generations of Wake Robin calves!
