Last night I moved the rams into the smaller stall next door to get their old stall ready for a new occupant. We're getting a Jersey heifer this week. Her name is Sugar and she is due to freshen in the next few weeks. She was pasture-bred so we're not sure of the due date.
Jennifer's uncle is giving us the cow but we'll be giving him the calf after it's weaned. We're going to get a bull calf from our herdshare dairy for Sugar to nurse. That way we'll have beef for ourselves. We probably won't milk her until the calves are weaned.
