She was excited, nervous and very unsure of her abilities in this situation. But she knew she had to assist them – somehow. Fortunately, her son Carson was available to help, and the calves arrived with no complications. Two new Beltie calves were born on July 9; and one on July 10. The first calf was a heifer. Carol named her Liberty Belle after the 4th of July. The bull calves are yet to be named. She prefers them to have strong names, like Independence, Revolution, or even Revere, after Paul Revere.
