Tin Stone Little Cricket was born to our beautiful first-calf heifer, Sassy, who required an emergency C-section when her labor failed to progress. 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. Sassy gave us such a treasure: a beautiful heifer calf to adore and always remember her by.

Cricket calved for the first time in June 2025 and sadly lost her bull calf at birth. She has become a wonderful little milker and is an absolute saint in the milk parlor! She gives three gallons of milk a day and has honestly continues to surprise us in the best ways – we couldn’t love her more!

She is bred back to RRR Holdin’ Strong for a spring 2026 calf and we are all praying hard that she has a healthy and easy calving this time.

Cricket is about 40″ at two years of age.
