color:  fawn

This little cutie was born early morning, the last Saturday of February.  He’s 3/4 Mini Jersey and 1/4 Dexter, eligible for the AMJA&R upbreeding program.  His sire, via AI, is an excellent bull from the Isle of Jersey, the real deal.  Momma  BoPeep brought him into this world exactly one year and 2 days after her momma, Kitty, left it.  What a special treat.

He was the color of a Hershey chocolate bar when he was born, hence the name.  Although I love the fact that he shares the name with my great-uncle, Wilbur Hershey, who allowed a certain young girl to follow him around many a time, just to be close to the cows.  I have many fond childhood memories of Uncle Wilbur’s dairy farm & am delighted to give a calf this name!
