Hope is a young and proven cow, with many years of productive calf-bearing ahead of her, accompanied by her bull calf. This year, she gave birth to our first calf of the season, Lieutenant. As a first-time mother, Hope performed exceptionally well, likely benefiting from the experience and guidance of her own mother, LiTerra Adalida, our first impactful dam. Hope took great pride in her calf, ensuring he was up and nursing swiftly, mirroring the behavior of our most seasoned cows.
Raised at our miniature Highland cow farm, Hope was halter-trained as a calf and still responds to haltering, though she requires a little incentive in the form of grain. Lieutenant, her calf, is social and curious, though he hasn't undergone halter training yet. He is currently in the process of being registered, a process that includes DNA testing and may take several weeks to complete. Once finalized, the registration and transfer will be completed to his new owner’s name. Lieutenant's sire, Jaunty Lad, shows promising traits, and the calf is demonstrating significant potential as a future bull.
