[@s.m.1959]

"... and you know who the daddy is? ME!" ... not going to lie - that got a good chuckle, to see that kind of excitement!

[@baldysfarm]

Thanks! To be honest I hadn’t got a lot of confidence in myself that I had actually caught any so could believe it when they started calving! 🙌🏻

Congrats on the AI success!! Calves are looking good.

[@baldysfarm]

Thanks Jodi! I didn’t think I had got any but really pleased to have a few on the ground.

Why don’t you use a bucket when cleaning sheds out? Much cleaner job than using a fork with it all dripping out before getting to the trailer.

[@baldysfarm]

It doesn’t make a very neat job. All that happened is it boils up in front of the bucket. We generally muck out with the grab and then clean up with the bucket afterwards.

[@Imtheman1977]

I'd expect a flush of calves after the TB test..it always seem to bring them on

[@baldysfarm]

It’s like when she sheep get out during lambing. Next minute you can’t move for lambs. 😂

[@saragayle2217]

You made me laugh who is the daddy 😂😂 the calfs are beautiful. Hope all went well with the testing results ❤

[@baldysfarm]

😂 thanks Sara! I was a little bit excited to have even got one! 😂

[@regenesteffen2814]

Are the babies heifers? They have shorter gestation.

[@baldysfarm]

Yes, all heifers bar one. All the AI calves are sexed heifers.

[@aidanmurphy6845]

Does sexed semen work well for cows

[@baldysfarm]

Yes it works well but you only have about 5 minutes between removing it from the flask and inseminating the cow which is about half that of regular semen. So you have to work fast!
