This is Burt, one of Good Old Number 68’s twins. He’s doing well, but unfortunately his twin, a heifer calf named Nan, died. She always had a hard time getting around. At first we thought she was just the weaker twin. But one day Matt got up close to her and saw that she was blind in at least one eye. There were probably other things wrong with her, too.
Otherwise, the calving season went well. The last 2 cows dropped their calves just last week for a headcount of 9. When I walk down the road to the other end of the pasture to feed the chickens in the morning, all of the calves watch me with great curiosity.
