First Dexter baby of 2008















I can't say that Iron Molly has the best timing. We had 2-3 inches of rain the night before this calf was born, so we were knee-deep in mud, and we were expecting snow that night. I slipped and slid with the tractor to position a round bale to give them some relief from the north wind and crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. I was VERY relieved this morning to find that even with an unheard of 7 inches of snow, the calf was still around...which is a great testimony for the hardiness of the Dexters.
