As you know Garry bred a lot of cows in the village last spring, and he was delighted to go to a house in the village last week to breed a cow - a little early he told the lady, because the cow was only fresh 40 days, he is trying to get them to call him after 60 days. Next to the cow was her heifer calf from the AI Canadian bull Garry was using last year, born on Christmas day. The lady was ready to have another next year, because the calf is growing so fast.
On Friday Garry was called to Pervey Mai (first of May)a nearby village where he bred a number of cows last year. A lady wanted him to check her first calf heifer that had been milking for a few months, because she had not noticed her in heat (ready to breed) As far as Garry could tell, all is well with her, so maybe he or Max will be back there soon to breed the cow.
The lady was excited to show him the big bull calf and set of twin heifer calves that her two cows he bred last year had. She has the twins in a little room heated by a wood fireplace, since it as been so cold. It seems like everyone wants to have him breed their cows again, because the calves are so big and grow so fast. Yana was showing me in our barn in December how the AI bred ones grow so much faster than the regular ones.
