The best part of Dairy Farming for me has always been the birth of the new heifer calves, particularly if they are the first calves from a “new” bull, or perhaps a “rare” heifer from those cows who have bull calf after bull calf.
I thought that perhaps other users/viewers of this site would feel the same and this might become a useful additional feature for the website.
Please text or e-mail with details of the calf’s name, the sire and dam and I will calculate the GMI and will normally publish the highest or the most interesting.

To start the ball rolling I was pleased to find this pretty girl at Hurdlebrook last week she is a daughter of Hurdlebrook H Lily 8 a first calver by Tredinney Landon Premium and the sire of the calf is Thornton Morpheus, the Junior Stock bull at Hurdlebrook who is the only Response son in the UK and out of the Ex95 Thornton Dilly 17.
Little Lily therefore carries the blood of two of the only three 95 point cows in the UK and she has a GMI of +109.
