and me that she is preggers and with a heifer! I bred her to a very nice bull 19 days ago and she would be due to go into heat anytime. I am really hoping she took! The bull is half holstein and half jersey. He has 2 calves on the ground and both of them are heifers and tiny ( low birth weight bull?). He has an amazing conformation, is a puppy to be around ( dont worry I didnt trust him for a second, no matter how nice he is) and is beautiful. He is a 2 year old, his scrotal conformation is great ( you know the bovine genetic counseling site...) and he was born on St. Patricks Day, so we nicknamed him The Lucky Milkman:) a.k.a. Lucky Charms......pun intended:) His owners like it and have kept it:). I was initially concerned that his size would be a problem with Bhumi small size but then I saw his 1 month old calf and his 2 month old calf who are both still smaller than Bhumi's last calf was at birth! One is taller but finer boned. Her last 3 calves have been with full brahman bulls and they were HUGE bulls. So I pray not only that she is preggers but that its a little pixie of a heifer:) I was going to use mini jersey semen on her and managed to almost buy 2 straws from a friend but decided that finacially I could not afford the 100$ for the straws plus AI fees and have the very big possibility it would not take. So I opted for the nice mannered, pretty, heifer throwing FREE bull
So do any of you think that with 2 heifers ( his only 2 calves) on the ground that the odds for a heifer are higher?
