MINDEN â Jim and Andrew Jensen hit the trifecta this calving season. Literally.
On Feb. 27, the Jensensâ cows had just begun calving. Andrew was making his rounds at Homestead Farms in Minden, which he owns with his dad, Jim, when he came across a set of twin calves that hadnât survived.
The loss struck Andrew hard, and it continued to be on his mind as he began tagging other calves and checking on the heifers. Andrew returned home at about 10 a.m. when he saw a heifer, tag number 33, with a fresh baby.
âHeifers, you usually watch them closer because they have more of a tendency to get more wound up like, âWhat is this that just came out of me?â Or they may just look at it and not lick it off.
