Oh my goodness! I have a cow who is due to calve on September 1st too! :weee We should start a shared calving thread for them!
And we are also planning on breeding her heifer (from last year) soon.

That's so cool!! Though it might be September 2 instead of the first...but still, close! Yeah, we should! What breed are yours?

The cow, Violet (posted above), is a purebred Dutch Belted. Her yearling heifer was sired by a Hereford bull. Violet is bred to a Randall and I can't wait to see what the calf will look like!

Is your cow bred to a Jersey? And how old is she?

Awesome! That sounds like a fun cross. How old is Violet?

No, she was bred to our neighbor's (dairy farmer) dairy cross bull. I'll have to post a pic of him and our cow later. She's about seven years old, and this will be her fifth calf. She used to be our friends' cow before they sold her to us. So far she's only given heifers!

Thank you!
Violet turned four last January, and this will be her third calving. We've had her since she was eight months old. Her first calf was a purebred DB bull (we ate him) and then she had Gertrude last summer. I love crosses, they tend to be hardier than purebreds. How long have you had your cow? The heifer is beautiful, love the paint coloring! :love

Here are some thumbnails of Gertrude. Her right side looks like a DB, and the left looks Hereford. :p
