Clover Bell Babies are here! Spring and Summer 2009 was very good for us. We now have 10 calves running in all directions and they are cute as cute can be! Out of RoShamBo we now have 1 red heifer, 3 dun heifers and 2 dun bull calves. Rafferty gave us a red heifer and a red bull calf and 2 fall black heifers. Dandelion, Daffodil, Daisy, Delphinium, Strawberry Blossom, Magnoila and Dahlia are the "flower girls" this year.

September 24, 2008
"Well, it's a red. We know that much so far." the familiar voice on the line was my friend Tabitha Booher who purchased 6 bred cows from us in spring. I've been getting updates on Clover Bell Thistle who was expecting her first calf any day. Tabitha and Greg Booher live east of Nashville in Livingston, Tennessee where they manage the airport. They got the Dexter "bug" big time and have TWO herds now. One in Tennessee and one in their home state of Arkansas. (Who was it said Dexters are like potato chips? 3 points if you can email me the punch line!) Thistle was the first Clover Bell heifer to have a Clover Bell calf and she carries red as she is out of the fantastic bull Windgate Striker B (son of Cornahir Outlaw) that we leased way back in 2005. Bred to Rafferty we knew that Thistle had a 50% chance of having Clover Bell's first red. My heart jumped trying to guess if Tabitha was just teasing me. (I had threatened to commit hari kari if she got the first red.) Yep, she was telling the truth alright. Thistle was right IN the process during that phone call of giving birth (easily) and was just licking the newborn calf off. I could hear the familiar "mommy moo" in the background. I screamed so loud in excitement I broke Tabitha's eardrum! She called later to confirm that it was, indeed, a heifer and weighed 41.5 pounds and measured 24.5 inches at the hip.
Clover Bell Velvet is absolutely gorgeous and just glows in the sunlight. We're hoping she'll have the black nose that her grandsire did but no matter what she's a beauty. And the first red. And she's not mine.
Sigh.
