This was one of the less busy days during the week and we prioritize cleaning and calf management. One of the newer calves that was born was a small white heifer with black dots splashed throughout her hair. On the outside she looks like any typical calf, however when a farmer gazes upon her they will notice that her legs are slightly bent in towards her chest! Fret not, as the calf grows up she will most likely grow into her legs and they will straighten out the longer she uses them. I have seen crooked legs and and few calves that will keep their hooves curled so they seemingly walk on their wrist but eventually as they grow older and the muscles develop in their tiny bodies they all grow out of it. She is just as shocked about this fact as you!
Today we shipped 5,658 gallons of milk and had one new bull calf.
