In response to the bank failures in early 2023 we decided to pull money out of the bank and invest in some cows... Into assets we're comfortable with and control. This was at the same time we learned my wife was expecting our first child, we had a few dozen pigs on farm, a good flock of sheep, and were gearing up for our veggie CSA. Suffice it to say, we thought we were crazy, but onward we went anyway.
As the birth of our child was nearing last fall we attempted to AI our cows. It was a disaster. 0 for 3 the first try. In our second attempt we went 1 for 3. This calf is a result of that. In another 2-2.5 years we'll actually get some beef.
(We gave up on AI and paid a small fortune for a great bull shortly after our child was born.)
Beef is a long game.
