Lucy Ellen Aylard Todd was born
September 2nd, weighing 10lbs
11oz, in an easy unassisted third
calving. There were no calving or
freshening issues, and baby got
required colostrum within two
hours of birth! Lucy is a little sister
for 3-year-old Campbell Aylard
Todd, and 18-month old George
Aylard Todd. (A decent calving
interval, but could be better!) Big
brothers are obsessed and very protective of baby Lucy, and parents Mickey
Aylard and Angus Todd are having a great time with their young family, filled with
trips to the barn. Proud grandparents are Lisa and Dave Aylard (Brackenhurst
Farm), and Meg and Robert Todd, all of North Saanich, BC.
While an easy-calver she was not, Risa
Haskins delighted her fiancé, Carter
Williams with the successful delivery of
a 6lb 13oz baby girl! Nora Jean was born
at the Abbotsford Regional hospital on
September 8, 2024. Proud grandparents
are Kimberly Ross (4C Financial Inc), Dave
Williams, and Dan Dick of Abbotsford,
and Ken and Diane Haskins of High
River, AB. Even prouder are Nora’s great
grandparents, June Ross and Bill and Bev
Dick of Abbotsford. Nora Jean Williams
is a fabulous addition to the Ross-Dick-
Williams-Haskins family, and as the first
grandchild she is being properly spoiled!
Congratulations to Tyler and Corrisa
Haambuckers (Glorybound Holsteins),
