Hello everyone my name is Julia and I am an animal science student at the University of Maine on the Pre-Vet track. I am currently part of the UMADCOWS group which is responsible for maintaining heard through the course of the semester. It is a very busy time of year especially with all of our calves being born! There are many steps to properly caring for a newborn calf. Just a few are making sure the calf has all healthy vitals, making sure to feed the calf its colostrum so as to coat the lining of its stomach and intestines with the proper bacteria it needs to fight off various other viruses (among all sorta of other things), make sure the calf is clean and watch for any signs of illnesses. All of our calves are very well taken care of and we have quite a few new babies to introduce you to! The calves are in order from most recently born to the calves born the earliest. Meet Pumpkin Patch! She was born on 10-18-2019, and her mother is Poohbear who is another one of our milk producing girls Meet Noble! He was born on 10-17-2019, and his mother is Nevada which is one of our cows in milk as well! Meet Harriette! Harriette was born on 10-12-2019, and her mother is Hazel, another one of our milk producing girls! Meet Diego! His mother is one of our dairy cows, Damsel, who gave birth to him on 09-16-2019.
