We had another Angus calf born on July 6th!  We named her Blue- she has a slight bluish tint, but also it’s a good July 4th holiday name!  She was born to No 6- and she’s a great mom- had Blue up and nursing right away.  Think we may get 1 or 2 more calves this month.  Then we will be leasing a bull towards the end of July.  It’s been so hot and humid this summer!  We’ve had to keep the cows in the winter paddock so they have shade.  If we let them in the pastures, the moms tend to forget about their calves and leave them baking in the sun while they munch the green grass.  So, to be safe, we are feeding hay in the paddock.  We let them out to the pasture in the evenings sometimes so they can get the green stuff.  Looking forward to the next hay cutting also in the next few weeks.  Summer is going by fast!
