Sadie

A week ago we had a red heifer calf born on our farm, which is pretty rare for us. Out of 800 animals probably six of them are red.

Sadie parents, Destry and Sasha, are both red carriers, but are not red themselves. Since they both carry the red gene there was about a 25%

chance that their calf would be red, so that means there was about a 12% chance that we would get a red heifer calf. And we did!

Her name is Sadie and she is so cute. She has big long ears, and the brightest eyes with a lighter shade of red around them? Her white hair is

bright and provides a beautiful contrast to her auburn coat!  Sadie is a really smart little calf too, she is a very good eater.

                                     I was very excited to get five calves out of my cow Ara in the past week. They are the result embryo transfer.

                                    I own Ara with my brother Ethan. We ended up with two bulls, Ace and Ariat,  and three heifers, Audrey, Anna, and Alexis.

                                   Audrey is my favorite. She’s such a cutie. I call her Awwwwwwww-drey.

About Me

My photo
I love God, my family, spending time with my friends, reading a good book, riding my horses, showing my cows, walking in the grass with my bare feet, watching a sunset or sunrise, listening to birds chirp and the wind blow, a good nap, taking pictures, corn on the cob, a cold glass of milk, quiet time, laughing, singing really loud just to annoy my brothers, playing with photoshop, the fair, ripe tomatoes with lots of salt and pepper, playing with my kitten, and just enjoying life.
