Calves and their Friends

Since our dairy calves spend at least half of each day away from their mothers so WE get some of the milk, we make sure that each calf is raised with a companion. Here, friends Devon steer calf Adam and Jersey heifer calf Ladine share a nap and a snuggle on a warm spring morning.

Owner Riley Sabo, age 9, with Sabo Faline at 21 months. Faline has spent the winter with our Devon beef herd, in the open fields at 5000' elevation on our ranch, and the fat pads at her tailhead show you how much of an easy keeper she is!

“Sabo’s Faline”, born March 2008 (photographed March 2009), sired by New Zealand Jersey bull Beldene Dukes Landy.  Sabo Faline is an A1/A2 calf and will be bred July 2010 to an A2/A2 Jersey bull, LIC Sire 190JE0038 Hawthorne Grove Zeus.  For more information about A2 milk, see http://curezone.com/blogs/fm.asp?i=1259149 .

Faline’s dam, Folly, is an extremely “easy keeping” Jersey/Limousin cow who fostered two extra Devon calves last year without losing any condition.  Folly produces about 2 – 2 1/2 gallons of milk per day on a once-a-day milking, 100% grassfed.
