Bloksdal Pippi (Bloksdal Linux -ET V.B. x Bloksdal Holly V.B.) has had a bull calf.
The young cow gave birth on October 10 in the middle of the night. We took her in from grass in the evening when she was getting ready to calve and calving went quickly and she did it all herself.
This was Pippi’s third calf, which has all been born within the first 10 days of October. In addition, she is only inseminated once each time, so three doses of sperm have been used for the three calves.
The calf is by Utrillo BP (Major x Fatcha) and the calf will be called Bloksdal Utrillo named after his father. It weighed 45 kg at birth and is numbered 425.
