Cricket

Tin Stone Little Cricket was born to our beautiful first-calf heifer, Sassy, after a long and surprisingly unproductive labor. Sadly, after trying everything to deliver the calf normally, an emergency C-section was performed to give both Sassy and the calf the best chance at survival. After three heartbreakingly difficult weeks and the most valiant fight to stay alive to love her calf, Sassy passed away.

Cricket was 21″ and an incredibly strong calf at birth… and such a beautiful surprise! We were just thankful for a healthy, live calf but Sassy gave us such a treasure: a heifer calf to adore and always remember her by.

Cricket is growing out beautifully and staying on track to be about 40″ at maturity. She was bred to our herdsire, Rango, in September 2024 and we are hopeful that she is due in June 2025 with her first calf!
