Congratulations.

I once had the wonderful surprise of a new calf on New Years day, I knew the cow was in calf but had not worked out the date. I went out in the afternoon to throw some hay at the cattle and what a wonderful surprise to see a calf up and running around in the pen, a wonderful beginning to the year.

The same cow calved on 2nd January another year.

We had a couple as well either side of midnight, both to an Angus bull this time. My wife went off to a New Years meal out with friends and left me to it
