Just had to share our latest addition to the farm. My cow is an Irish Dexter named Iris. She gave birth to a bull calf yesterday. I haven't named him yet, but he sure is cute! This picture was taken in his first couple hours.

Wonderful! Cute calf. Let us know what you name him.
Thanks for the picture.

Wow what a big healthy looking calf. He looks like he's a couple of weeks old already. Congrats!

Awesome! Congrats to you and your momma cow! Do you milk her once he's weaned?

I originally purchased Iris in the hopes of having a milk cow. But since she came out of a large herd that was on range and she's 4 years old I've had no such luck taming her enough to be a family milk cow. I'm hoping that one day she will calve a heifer that I can hand raise to be a milk cow. Or I'll just have to save up and buy a cow that's already been milked. For now she's just blessing our family with beef. Her steer from last year will hopefully go to the freezer later this fall. Since he's reddish colored and was born in a heat wave we've started calling him Big Red. Don't know for sure yet if the name will stick or not. :)
