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. We are so thankful that Sassy gave us such a treasure before she passed: a beautiful heifer calf to adore and always remember her by.

Cricket calved for the first time in June 2025 and sadly lost her calf at birth. She was bred back to RRR Holdin’ Strong for a spring 2026 calf and, thankfully, in April 2026 she was able to deliver a beautiful bull calf all by herself! She took to mothering so easily and passed her looks to her calf, Tin Stone Little Elm.

Cricket is about 40″ at two years of age.
