Hi Everyone, This calf was traded around with a few other calves several times in the first couple days of her life. I
have no idea her original background other than she was sent to a sales barn with some holsteins and angus cross calves.
(maternal instincts were in overdrive and I bought some sickly calves from a guy that was selling them as his own farm grown, (they had sticker tape marks
from being auctioned and I saw another guy advertising (craigsl)calves off the interstate and recognized one he was selling). Anyway,
the calf is a few months old now and very beautiful, (sorry no current pics). She is as tall as a 6 month old angus calf at 3 months old,
with a bright red coat that is extra sleek. I got tired of bottle feeding her and put her on a jersey. I want to say she is a guernsey, but
I have not seen a lot of people with guernseys in Northern Alabama, but who knows?? She could be a beef cow for all I know, would love
to hear from more experienced cattle people. Thanks
