A bouncing, 42-pound organic calf was born at the University of New Hampshire's organic research farm, university officials said.

The Jersey calf, born Dec. 12, is the first-born to mother May, a University of New Hampshire Jersey bred in Vermont. Farm officials said 46 cows are expected to give birth and begin producing organic milk within the next month.

"She's a beautiful, healthy calf, and May handled the birth like a pro," said Charles Schwab, professor of animal and nutritional science at University of New Hampshire.

The calf will be named by the highest bidder at an online auction on eBay, with proceeds funding the university's organic dairy project. Mom and daughter are reportedly resting comfortably at the farm in Lee, N.H., site of the first organic research dairy farm for a land-grand university in the United States.

University of New Hampshire farm officials said they expect to begin shipping organic milk in early January.

Drought Slashes Australian Wool Production To 20-Year Low
 Sydney (AFP) Dec 11, 2006
 Australia's wool harvest is set to dwindle to its lowest in 20 years, industry figures showed Monday, as the nation's worst drought in a century weighs further on the beleaguered rural community. Record low rainfall has led the nation's wool producer body, Australian Wool Innovation (AWI), to slash its "shorn wool production" outlook for 2006-07 by nine percent on last year's 461,000 tonnes.
