Future Hamburger


This is Charles Bronson. He was born yesterday. Charlie is a 7/8 Jersey bull calf. His mother was 3/4 Jersey, 1/4 Holstein, but looked entirely Holstein — big and black-and-white, what the kids call a “Ben and Jerry’s cow.” His father was a purebred Jersey bull. Charlie is going to be our relief milker until Selden dries Katika up in March. Then next summer he will be Katika's romantic interest, and shortly after that he'll be put in the freezer for upcoming Fossil dinners.
