Dutch Belted calf pics.

Rollie NE PA · Feb 16, 2011

Here are two Dutch Belted calves. The larger one is a bull and the other is the heifer. My buddy who operates a dairy farm near me bred two different cows, one holstien and one holstien/jersey with the Dutch Belted seman and came up with these fine looking calves.

only thing wrong with those,is when you see them in the pasture you cant tell if they are coming or going!

Very nice well cared for animals and barn. Over the years I have been in many, many barns. A few like yours which are imaculate, many that are well kept and animals are well fed and clean, and some that would make you puke. You are to be commended. Are the holstines, heifers that you are boarding for your buddy, or is that his barn? The end of your comentary was cut off when I scrolled back.

This is my buddies barn. I think he has somewhere around 200 cows. He does his own insemination. WORKS HIS BUTT OFF!!

Is that your barn? I haven't seen one that clean since we had a milking parlor when I was a kid. I got in on hosin that out several times. Nice calves and those cows are sure clean,don't you have any mud around there.

nice looking calves there. we used to have a small herd of the belted galloways and then crossed them w/ a hereford and got some real nice red/white oreos. i sure miss them cows they were easy calfers and easy going to handle. now we just have a few herefords and a couple of murray grays. thanks for sharing the pics, by the way that's a nice clean barn you keep.

Those are fine looking cattle! I can tell by looking at just those two photos that your buddy has a very well cared for operation. First thing I see is, as mentioned, the cattle are spotless. Second, the barn has plastic manger liners which is a great idea to help keep mangers smooth and feed fresh and also helps brighten up a barn. Thirdly are the fairly new style tiestalls he used. Love the idea of a tiestall with no divider pipe in the rear of the stall. No pipe in the back to rust off or get legs banged on getting up. Fourthly, because of the use of single post tiestalls, your buddy was able easier to put in stall matts without having to cut around a pipe to install. This not only makes the installation simpler but also will make the stall matts last longer. This is a dairy farm that just by two pictures, I am impressed by his operation.

My milk inspector would be writing him up for having calves in the manger, cracks in the concrete, barn not whitewashed, etc. No pleasing those guys.
