This makes 6 calves in a row that I haven’t been around to see born. Sometime mid day (I suspect) Marigold had her third calf.

Marigold and her 2010 new born Calf

Here’s a close up of the little heifer calf.

Marigold's 2010 Heifer Calf

Shortly after I took these pictures I helped the calf up and she had a good suck. I think all is well, I’m not completely sure that Marigold’s milk is full coming in, but likely that’s just me being a worried “uncle” (or some such).

The only cow left to calf now is Charlotte, but she won’t be due for several months yet I expect. This given her calf last year wasn’t born until Labour Day (fittingly perhaps). I’m now 1 and 1 on the sexes this year.
