First Calf
April 2nd our first calf finally came. That's about 3 weeks later than usual and there are NOT many cows that look close. I'm a little nervous we will have really late calves this year.
This is BPR Tally who is nine years old this past March. Her little solid black bull calf is out of 3rd generation homegrown bull name SenSim Spokane. He is now in Kim Nikolai's freezer :) We like to move our bulls out quite fast...keeps the genetic advancements coming rapidly :)
