Victory, a cow from Hardy Farm, gave birth to a calf at the Farmington Fair early Tuesday morning, Sept. 20. Wednesday farm owner Teresa Hardy said Victory is a first time mom and had a due date of Sept. 15, but they had a feeling the calf would be born at the fair. The calf, yet to be named but currently nicknamed “little brat” for the time being, had a “rough start,” Hardy said. Mom and baby were to return to Hardy Farm in Farmington that night to continue recovering from the hard birth. Kay Neufeld/Franklin Journal

Victory, a cow from Hardy Farm in Farmington, gave birth to a calf at the Farmington Fair Tuesday, Sept. 20. The calf, yet to be named but nicknamed “little brat” for the time being, was hard to birth, said farm owner Teresa Hardy. It took seven people to pull out little brat, Hardy said. But mom and baby are starting to recover, Hardy added. Pictured, Hardy looks at mom and calf at the Farmington Fair Wednesday, Sept. 21. Kay Neufeld/Franklin Journal
