I love cows! I had a blue eyed Holstein bull calf once. I believe his name was chance or JAC (just another chance, I had 2 calves) we had a dairy farm them so I didn't have to pay for either of them. Now the farm has beef cattle. Some days I miss milking cows. With them being half Angus will you have to milk them or no?

Each calf is different when it comes to teeth. Some will be born with a full set, others won't. It's not really to do with them being premature, because it's the lungs that are most impacted with being born prematurely than teeth (just like in human babies). You can get full-term calves that are born with only a few teeth erupted already.

Super adorable!!! What breed are your others? My old thought is if they're mixed with Holstein they may not fill out as nice as a full beef cow if you plan to butcher ever.

@cjc, one of my Mom's cows calved yesterday and she had a little blue-eyed heifer. :) I thought you might want to see her. She is 1/2 Red Angus, 1/4 Jersey, 1/4 Normande.
