Just an FYI the Dam of Jesse James was kicked out of the association, so he is now less than 3% Chi. Had a heifer paper that was 12.74% and just recieved a letter and new papers changing her % to 1.22.
Back in early April we had a cow give birth to twins, of course she claimed the small probably free martin heifer calf, and left us with a nice bull calf to care for. I was told by a few that this was not my cup of tea and not to bother with it sell him and take what I can get. Being a woman...
