The first Wagyu calf was born yesterday!  A heifer named Fumiko.  We’re going with Japanese names for these guys.  Fumiko means “strong child”.  And, it’s also a family name-  My Uncle was stationed in Japan and married a Japanese woman named Fumiko.  The calf looks really good and was lucky to be born on a nice day.  The rest of the Wagyu calves are expected within a few days- hoping for 4-5 more.  Then the Angus calves are expected in June.  Our herd is growing fast.  This Fall we are selling some calves plus four yearling steers.  Finally a little income!  Looking forward to some nice warm temps and a little rain to get the pastures growing.  We are also working on getting the leased fields planted with hay.  As usual, lots of projects in the Spring!
