Not a very good picture I am afraid. However. the mother is exactly 2 years and 2 weeks old.

That is her second calf, born today.

Anyone beat that?

I had an old neighbour years ago who had 60/70 cattle that were all let loose with each other, all horns and balls with no tags :/ heifers would calve before a year old and more often than not fail to calve so would die during labour....
after seeing the state that herd/farm turned to because of the owners mental health issues I hope your not going the same way!

Depends who you ask, the above heifer was a cock up from her Dad in year 1 and she got on well with that calf, so no reason to not have another go.

Can't beat it for age but I had one had 3 calves by 25.5 months old last year. Calved at 15 months then gained 7 weeks to calve twins last year. Sadly 1 didn't make it cos I didn't realise there was twins til it was too late.
