Fancy is an over-marked Highpark cow that we bought at an auction. She was supposedly a 2 year old bred heifer - bred to a "micro-mini" highland. Once we got her home - we started to suspect she was NOT 2 and when she went into labor about 6 months later our suspicions were validated unfortunately. She had to have a c-section and had a very LARGE bull calf. We were not sure that she would ever bred back, but she has a wonderful personality and is very gentle and was a good mother, although she did not produce enough milk for her calf - fortunately Sunshine was able to help out. She did not breed back for a year, but last year and this year, she has calved almost perfect copy/paste heifer calves that look just like her, but have more hair and carry wild type (MRR Glenn is the father of both).
