Twin calves to cuddle

Everyone loves a calf to cuddle, not least Jeanette and Peter Stebbin's grandchildren seen here with twin heifer calves from Ardrossan Narelle. The twins resulted from AI to Ardrossan Richmond and were 16 and 16.5 kgs when they arrived in June. Narelle suffered toxaemia from retained afterbirth, twisted stomach and pneumonia, but persisted like a true Lowline champ and through all of this fed both her calves. Now Narelle and the calves are 100%.
