That new calf part Highlander or part buffalo for shure ..maybe he is part beefalo be interesting to watched him grow up and see if he sheds that baby hair for shire what ever he is ..
That makes me miss my cows. Dad and I calved mama cows for a couple decades. We had some Brangus cross. Some Beefmaster. Those Brahma cross mamas are usually way more defensive of new calves, than Furball's mom.
Yeah I have been around some brangus in the past and they seemed to be a little more aggressive with new babies on the ground. I do love the beefmaster look though. That may be the direction I start heading toward.
Hairball is the cutest calf ever. I guess this is the time of year you lose some sleep . Lucky for the herd that you are the midwife.. Good video. Pax.
@@FarmandHammer they look the same as most cattle. Just a bit more hair sometimes. But when butchered a beefalo a lot of the times will adopt the trait of the buffalo and have an extra rib. Meat is better for u too leaner. Only real way to tell what it is would be to pull tail hair and have it dna
Nice quiet cows. I appreciate that you obviously spend time in the field with them. Dad never kept a mean or wild cow around, either. At first because he had kids working them, and then, like you, he was working them by himself. Kudos! Couple of nice calves out there, out of some good "using" cows. Guess I'll follow along.
I try to walk around all of our groups at least twice a week. This group in particular I walk and move daily since they are new and needed to calm down. Mean or flightly cattle are dangerous. Especially when you are working alone like you said. Thanks for watching!
A lot more early mornings and late nights! But once this new group is calved out, it will get much easier. The full time job throws a wrench into things haha
is the mother of that hairy calf part Brown Swiss that could explain the longer hair they sometimes had a bit longer then lets say a holstein, awesome video
Not sure what she is exactly but it does look like she has a little brown swiss mixed in. She was a cull cow I bought a month ago so I am not totally sure what she is or what she was bred to.
The old or cows with issues will be sold after they raise their calves. But the younger ones that raise a good calf will stay for another year if I am able to get the farm leased for another year.
I know this sound dumb but I think you should tag all of your cows that you bought, the next time you work them would make it easy. If I did it I would start at one and keep going and if you keep any heifers out of them then right what cow they are and who there mother was on the tag. But anyway that calf did look shaggy. I hope everything goes good with the cows, with prices the way they are now you might make some money off of them this year. Good luck to you!
We used to tag every calf and keep a record book. But cows rip tags out, calves get missed and it ended up being more of a pain than it was worth. Since I have been helping out on the farm for the last 10 years I know every single cow we have and which calf is theirs, which ones aborted, which ones grew poor calves etc. I am with them everyday so I have gotten to know them over the years. I only keep my favorite heifers from the best cows.
That Charolais bull calf is beautiful! We have Charolais as well!
I like seeing all the different cows and calves. They some cute little babies.
Yeah he does look like he's got a bit of highlander-blood. Nice varied group of cows and calfs
This new group sure has some color variation!
Wookiee might be a good name for the new calf.
Great suggestion! Looks like Wookiee is his name!

I hadn't considered beefalo but that could be! Like you said, wont know for sure until he grows up a little.
Those babies are too precious!

@@FarmandHammer We had mostly Black Baldy cows and about 1/3 Beefmaster cows. The Beefmasters had big, beautiful calves when bred to Charolais bull.

Thanks for continuing to tune in!
He sure is a friendly wee fella 😁
Biting the top off a pecan is not a bad thing the biggest pecans have multiple trunks about 2-3 feet off the ground. They can grow 100 feet across.
The cow looks like a highland cross
That's what our beefalo look like when first born
Someone else had mentioned that it could be a beefalo as well. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what he looks like when he grows up.

Absolutely another beautiful updated, appreciate most of your spectacular beautiful shooting adventures, keep it up Sir .. Merci beaucoup
The mom of long haired calf has curly hair, so she may be something that produces the hairy cows.
Calf looks like it has a highland face. I don't know where u get the time looking after 2 farms and numerous pastures
A lot more early mornings and late nights! But once this new group is calved out, it will get much easier. The full time job throws a wrench into things haha
Great looking herd
Thank you!
Good variety. Nice hybrid vigor. Thank you for sharing.🐂🐄
Adorable calf.

That's a good calf
Are you going to bred any of the cows you Brought and keep in your herd, or are they just short term cows

He's a keeper
Nice looking herd
Thanks!
He looks like a teddy bear. ❤
very cool mix of calves!! maybe the hairy one will grow to be a hugh bull??
Yeah this group has definitely added some color! He might grow into a big steer but I don't think he will be a bull for very long.
i keep highland cows .... and yes , that is definitely highland calf
Good to know! Some other viewers said beefalo calves look close to that as well. I guess I'll have to wait and see!
Cute babies!
Where r u located? And Wookiee like some one said fits him . Great job
I am in Missouri.
Love the video Isaac. Always enjoy them.
Thank you for watching them!
the calf definitely looks part highland.
That seems to be the consensus. Someone also said beefalo calves look like that as well. So I guess Ill have to wait and see how he grows!
Calf looks like a highland X
Thats what I was thinking...I guess I'll see what he looks like when he's older!
Keep the videos coming love the content
I'll try! Thanks for watching them!
Farm life is a hard life but a good one
Good job
