It’s mooving day! Every few months we move our heifers onto/out of pasture depending on their age and breeding status. At 9 months old, our heifers are released onto the east side of the pasture. When they reach 12 months, they are moved back to the main facility where we keep track of their heat cycles. A few months after that, we begin artificially inseminating them. Once the heifers have been confirmed to be pregnant, they are released onto the west side of the pasture. A ...month prior to calving, we bring them back to the main facility and anxiously await the arrival of a new calf! So if you haven’t seen your favorite heifer out on pasture, have no fear, she’s getting pampered back in our main facility! #WhyWeDairy #CADairy #UCDairy #UndeniablyDairy #ourUCDavis #HappyCows : @marnandap, @johnnickerson

We’d like to welcome our new Holstein calf, Rosie to the herd! Thank you @lilymomand for naming calf 3202, and thank you to our followers for all of the submissions! For another chance to name one of our calves make sure to keep an eye out for our stories! #WhyWeDairy #CADairy #UndeniablyDairy #ourUCDavis #AgProud #CowsofInstagram #Calf #CalvesofInstagram +: @marnandap, @Johnnickerson

Every year, these lovely ladies are sheltered at the main facility during the winter months to protect them from the elements. Now that Spring is here, our heifers get to return to pasture! Swing by, say Hi, and take some pictures! Remember to tag us, we’d love to see them! #WhyWeDairy #CADairy #UCDairy #UndeniablyDairy #ourUCDavis #HappyCows : @marnandap, @johnnickerson

It sure has been a hot one! Shout out to Shane Hansen of @Hansen.Industries for donating these stainless steel soakers! They have helped keep our ladies cool and comfortable in this triple-digit heat! #WhyWeDairy #CADairy #UCDairy #UndeniablyDairy #ourUCDavis #HappyCows : @marnandap, @johnnickerson
