Hi all

My first calf of the year was born on Monday a very large Dexter heifer!

It was quite stressful and ended up being a C Section, mum and baby are fine though

Lordy, that must be some calf! Glad that mum, baby - and you - are all fine.

We've had our first C-section here, Monday as well. Limousin bull on a Limi-cross cow; she'd overcooked him and at 17 days' over time, no way was he coming out the regular exit!

The bull is Ronick Cosmos, so I was anticipating the calf would get called Ronny or Cosmo. He is a strapping great calf, but due to his mode of arrival he is known as Side Door
