AWW i can't wait to see our cows start having calves i just love the calving season its so fun but can be very scary at times lol if you know what i mean.

looks like a beautiful udder on the shorthorn cow......... was your gigolo joe born early and at what weight id guess from the picture 78#'s (just guessing)

yeah, the shorty is a milking machine...it seems like at first, she almost has too much for one calf...but after a week or two, the calf is able to keep her milked down to a decent size udder...she's out of a double vision son and has gizmo on her maternal side...im guessing thats where all the milk comes from, cause i really didnt know double visions to be that good at milking...maybe im wrong...

the gigolo joe calf was due on the 25th, came on the 21st...84 lbs...its out of a first calf heifer...good guess...
