The test that counts….

….the latest from our new herd bull “Jackpot“.  This little bull calf born in icy rain is out of another line here that has produced some top bulls, 31.

Along with “Magic“, “Jackpot“, a son of Rotokawa 243, is the most impressive-looking bull we’ve produced here.  But it is the progeny that counts and from the calves we’ve seen so far, “Jackpot” is going to deliver everything he promises.

Mom left this little guy under a wagon in an adjoining field where we found him after birth.  We tagged him and he trotted up the hill without a concern and turned into the next pasture to be reunited with his dam.  From the first, some bull calves adopt a “certain air”, almost regal as they survey the rest of the herd.

Jackpot had that at birth, so does his son.  I could swear the cows recognize it too.  Wonder what Wooz will name him.
