The second heifer calved. 286 days gestation, sired by french lim, average calving bull. Assisted with ropes. Charolais should be calving soon as well. All these three were synched together, plus two more, which will carry for abit longer it seems.

So here's the first calf from new group of heifers. Bull calf, sired by culard charolais bull, 279 days gestation. Had to bring her to the shed and assist as only one foot and head were present. Assisted with ropes only. Would guess around 100lbs or so.

The last calf sired by the lim bull. The second calf for the cow, calved herself. Around 295 days gestation. The first of the heifers started calving, so there will be an update on their thread.
