Farming has lots of highs and lots of lows. Wednesday One of our favorite heifers had her first calf a few weeks before we was expecting. She took right to the new born cleaning her up and letting her eat a few times. Unfortunately Darcie had birthing canal issues that we had to put her down. Only one other time in over 16 years have we had to put a new mom down. We put the new born in the barn and had every intention of raising her as a bottle calf right at our farm. 9:00pm Wednesday night a very good friend of mine called and said his 28 year old daughter had a week old bottle calf and was looking for a companion calf. I have known this lady since before she was born and have seen the great mother and hard worker she has turned out to be. 6:00 am Thursday morning she was at the barn and we loaded Dolly into her car. She and her family will do a great job raising Dolly. Thank you Jillian and Rob.
