Print Friendly| 26160, affectionately known as AJ, has a unique position in our herd. AJ is Abby's 2nd calf, and the first calf born at Brun Ko Farm! As such, she has always been just a tad (read: a lot) spoiled. NP makes it a point to ‘make friends’ with all of the critters on the farm but AJ is by far the most receptive to his attempts. She’ll push through the crowd every time, to get front and center at the gate where NP is handing out ear scratches. |  AJ (26160) enjoying a sunny corner of the barn. |
AJ is approaching 2 years old and is pregnant with her first calf! She joined the ranks of the other heifers a month or so ago when she was confirmed pregnant and received her ear tags! Now, most calves are given ear tags when they are born. This is important for quick and easy identification. However, AJ being the only one on the place with no tags, a fair bit younger than the rest of the herd, and having her own particular attitude, we weren’t too worried about losing track of her! And we still really aren’t but after Lily (AJ’s half sister) was born, we decided it was about time that AJ graduate and get ‘ear rings’ like the rest of the girls ;).
AJ currently lives in the same pen with Abby and 54. She might have the humans at Brun Ko wrapped around her finger but she tends to be at the bottom of the totem pole when grouped with the rest of the heifers so we put her in the pen with the more bunk space and less competition at meal time! In fact, Abby and 54 are fed in the stanchions, so AJ has only herself to blame if she doesn’t get her fair share of the grain.
Enjoy!
