When a new fresh heifer(first time calving) finds the brush for the first time. | TDF Honest Farming

A first calf heifer(2 year old) was showing signs of calving but had no water bag or feet out. I became concerned, Jordan(husband) and I brought her in the calving pen and found a backwards calf(back legs first instead of front legs). We pulled the calf(very small) and checked in her and sure enough she had another calf in her. It isn’t common for twins in our herd and even less common for first time mothers to have them. Part 2 coming soon. #blackangus #ranching #twins #calvingseason | JC Farms

The guidelines for determining when a heifer is old enough to get pregnant and have a calf are based more on her size than her age so the exact age of a heifer before she’s bred and has her first calf will vary depending on her specific breed and the nutrition program of the farm she’s at. #dairy #cow #heifer #height #growthchart #growth #nutrition #nutritionist #farm #measure #vet #measurement #wellness #wellbeing #dairydoc #dairykind | Dairy Doc
