Jackpot,  U3

A frosty morn….

20131026_8….and U3 greets the sun.  Or is she looking in the “far distance” for her new calf?

In fact, she stood right there for several hours….finally moved down the hill to a protected area where she delivered her new heifer.  The killing frost is actually good news for the cows.  It means the end of the endophyte fungus—source of all sorts of problems—and a major boost in the energy of fescue grass.

From now through early next year, brix (sugar) levels in the grass are at their peak.

20131026_11Fast forward three hours, and here’s the new youngster and our very first by THF Jackpot.  This his ultimate test, and so far, so good.   This is U3s second calf…and more than a few visitors have tried to buy her…but that won’t happen any time soon, according to Wooz.
