Third generation of Jerseys !
« on: December 19, 2012, 11:15:34 am »
Plenty's finally done the deed this morning, and produced a perfect little Jersey heifer calf.  ;D  So Hillie's a grandmother.  BH says I'm more than half way now - our heifer/small cow cubicles can hold a maximum of 7!  :D

Pics will be forthcoming later on.

Ah, but Hillie has had two daughters (Plenty and Katy), so this makes 4 Jerseys in total. :D 

Still mulling over the name.  I'm sure she'll get named as her character shows.  Currently it would, on that basis, be Gutsy...  :D
