Two weeks earlier than normal & Crash, our bull calf from last year, is in prime condition & ready to go!! Too bad for him the first heat won’t happen until around mid-Sept. He will need to be patient, which is not something he excels at. Still a lovey boy today but that rut will be kicking in any time.
Yesterday morning he had all velvet antlers without a mark on them. This morning, almost all velvet is off.

Update on various reindeer things.
Crash, a bull calf from last year who destroyed the barn every night during his 12/1-3/6 unexpected rut is now Mr. Cuddles. So loving. We have about 6 more weeks before that changes & he goes into rut. Working to set up an area for him where damage caused will be minimal. Sadly, the antlers will need to go as soon as velvet is rubbed off in August.
Little Yule may need a new name. I noticed that he had a heart on his knee. Maybe his name needs to be Valentino? We’ve already had a bull named Cupid, so I can’t call him that. He is the sweetest boy. Dancer (his Aunt) & Joy (Mom) take very good care of him.
Sparkles is still 100% a ball of fire! She rules everyone but Joy. Joy just does not go for being bossed around. Sparkles has no fear & no boundaries. Her antlers are growing a little every day. She’ll never be a cuddler but she does like to sneak up behind us & poke her nose against the back of your calf when you are busy doing something.
Both calves are growing so fast. Yule will be 2 months on 7/5 & Sparkles will be 3 mths on 7/5.

Fun in the sun today!
FYI because some may have questions about the red on Joy’s rear-Joy, Yules Mom, had some issues with maggots after his birth. She needed shaving & some treatment. The red is scarlet oil, which seals & protects the skin while healing.

Happy 1 month birthday to Yule & Happy 2 month birthday to Sparkles. Both growing big, getting antlers & still all legs. From the top, Sparkles looks very alpaca. She has a crinkly coat & big eyes. From the side, all reindeer.,Still opinionated & independent but has settled down & is much friendlier. Her antlers have gotten slightly taller than her hair.
Yule has a nice smooth coat. He’s still very dark. I can feel his antlers but they haven’t broken through above his hair. He is an absolute sweetheart. It seems I can’t get a bull here that isn’t super friendly. The friendly ones are the most dangerous when they go into rut. But what am I to do when he comes to me for snuggles🥰

And so begins Aarre’s favorite time. Introduction up close & kissing noses with the calves. Aarre is so gentle with all livestock & birds & never barks at them. This will be an every day thing until Mom stops being protective of the calf. By that time, the calves & Aarre will be the bestest of friends. Sparkles is already on board & barked at Aarre to say hi.

Sparkles was 1 month old yesterday. She has lightened up considerable. And has made some people friends. She’s very curious about everything. Still sassy as can be. The most confident calf I’ve ever had.

Nothing as fun as watching the reindeer run. Saami & Vixen, last years calves, were full of energy this evening. Sparkles watched & knows she’ll be out with them soon.

Surprised by the timing, because most births are usually early morning & over for the day by 10am. But around 3, I noticed Dancer had curled up in the birthing stall & seemed to be having contractions. Things stalled out between 4 & 5 & I was making calls to my Vet, Dr. Simonis & OSU for emergency services. Only the legs were coming out. I called my friend Shelby Owens & she came up for moral support. It ended up being more than that because as I was making phone calls to set up help, Shelby tried looking closely at those legs & she could see a tongue. So on the next contraction, she pulled legs & out popped the calf. There was much barking by the dogs as Shelby ran down to the house yelling my name & “Live Birth!!!” I only heard dogs barking & we both ran back up to the barn to see the calf. Dancer did all the right things & Mom & baby are doing well. It was great not having to transport Dancer to OSU, or have my Vet give up her Sunday.
