Calving Updates

January 16, 2011
Calving is progressing at a snails pace. We only have 11 calves so far. I don't know what everyone else is finding but here this year the cows are going 6-10 days over with heavy birthweights (all unassisted). Usually this means more bull calves but we are heavy on heifers. To date we have 6 eye candy calves with 4  heifers and 2 bulls. There are 4 purebred angus calves with 2 of each. It has been hard to get pictures but I will post some when I get them.

January 9, 2011
I just came back from checking the cows. I usually do it at 10:00 pm but tonight I went at 9:00, well one had just calved and she had the afterbirth off the hind end but not the front, I didn't see any breathing so i jumped the gate and tore the membrane off the head and low and behold there was a big shiny eye staring at me and a tounge sticking out and wiggling! The cow didn't want me there so i jumped back out and when I looked back he had his head in the air. Its amazing how things work o...

HAPPY NEW YEAR! THE CALVES, THEY ARE A COMIN'!

January 1, 2011
       We wish all the best to all our friends and customers past and the new ones we will meet in 2011.

Calving season is upon us and we have two new arrivals so far. One purebred, a 70 lb Gangster bull calf and pictured above, the first ever Eye Candy (crossbred club calf bull) calf to be born on PEI. She is a hefty 103 lb unassisted heifer out of a purebred cow. 56 more to go and they should start coming fast now.

Good Luck to the rest of you!

New Colors and Genetics coming to Worth-a-Bit Angus!

November 22, 2010
On my recent trip to Alberta I was searching for red angus genetics to add to our herd. We feel there is a market for the red cattle and will be better able to serve our customers with this wider selection.

A heifer calf and bred heifer were selected from the JD Lann Dispersal. Thanks to the Fisher family for putting together a great herd and for their hospitality. The cattle should arrive next week.
