Fall Calving Anticipation

Vivien due to calf in fall 2025 at Mountain Heritage Farm

Fall calving season is here at Mountain Heritage Farm. Sue has already delivered her calf, and now I’m watching three more cows closely — Vivien, Zara, and Sapphire are all due in the coming weeks. Each of them is showing signs that they’re getting closer, and I’m keeping a close eye on udders, ligaments, and daily behavior.

📷 Sapphire is expecting her first calf in the next 10 days or so.

This season is always full of anticipation. Every calf brings its own personality and promise, and it’s exciting to see how these pairings play out in the next generation.

Zara, a Dexter cow at Mountain Heritage Farm, due to calve about 35 days after Vivien and Sapphire.

📷 Zara is about 35 days behind Vivien and Sapphire.

I’ll be sharing updates as the calves arrive both here and on #Babywatch . If you want to follow along, now’s the time — the best part of raising Dexters is right around the corner.
