Lizzie is our 2nd replacement heifer that is half Jersey and half Brown Swiss from Liberate. She was sired by Ensign 7JE1831, who was selected as a complement in each of her features. Ashleigh got to pull slightly, not that Liberate needed it, but it was strange seeing a calf hang 1/2 way out for several contractions.
This was a glorious experience for Ashleigh, Courage, Charlotte, and especially myself I suppose. There is something deeply wonderful and worshipful about having a heifer born on the farm that will be trained by the family and live some 15 or more years (sire had well above average "productive life"), giving over 10,000 gallons of God's custom engineered life-giving substance, Lord willing. Thank you Beloved Creator!
