As you saw from the title, It is a bull. Soon to be a steer. We ordered a burdizzo over a week ago and it says the package is delayed...
I was really bummed to not get a heifer. But we decided we will start calf replacer next week. We really want to make all our cheese and butter. So it will fit best for us. I was thinking I might sell them. But we do need to be raising meat too.
The next morning. We saw him nurse off her. But we also noticed Bessie Dearest had been nursed off of as well.
Azariah named him Fred Zorro. Fred because he needed an 'F' name to keep the alphabet order. And he will tell you that too. LOL He is slightly bigger than his brother a week older. And much denser/heavier. Brown Swiss is strong in him. He is lighter in color and stockier.
Dont remember if I mentioned it or not But this is Bessies Calf. Simeon named him Ernest Adam Cartwright. You know the show. ;)
I love the color difference.
We are thankful for the blessing of new life and more milk! Praise the Father!
