Welcome to The Bovine Bugle!

Jonathan Gates reports from Howmars Farm in Franklin, Vermont. Howmars is a certified organic dairy farm, one of many Organic Valley/CROPP Cooperative farmer members who supply the milk that goes into making Stonyfield's yogurts and smoothies. The entire family pitches in on this third-generation farm. Jonathan and his father, Howard, converted the farm from conventional dairy farming to organic 12 years ago.

Frisky new calf, but mom's a little weary

In this video from Jonathan Gates last week, we see one of his Angus heifers (most of his are Jerseys) has just given birth to a bull calf. Unfortunately, the new mother is suffering a bit with a calcium deficiancy, a common problem after heifers give birth. She's needing a little natural treatment and a little time to recover. We'll report on this new mom's progress in a future edition of The Bovine Bugle. Subscribe to The Bovine Bugle using the button to the upper left and you won't miss out on the news!

How is this cow doing now? Hope she's feeling better.
