Unexpected baby moo!
« on: November 01, 2009, 06:42:57 PM »
So yeah, I will post photos first thing tomorrow. This computer doesn't permit.

Lucy's daughter, named Peter, had a calf LAST year, but we thought she had missed this year. All the other cows had their babies in the Spring. She wasn't particularly fat. But we have been in a drought. And she doesn't put on a big bag like Lucy does - just adequate for the purpose. We didn't notice anything much.

So today - SURPRISE  @O@ @O@ @O@

We are calling her Ruby. She's white with red tips. Perfect in every way. Hit the ground running - or wobbling to be more accurate. :)

Photos. She was about 20 minutes old when these were taken.
Today she's chasing chickens.  @O@

Now I'm all confused. Lucy's daughter PETER???? Anyway Ruby is adorable. Nothing cuter than a baby calf. Looks like Peter likes her too.

I love calves too, they are so cute (and clean) and seem smarter than their parents.   That one us is adorable.

She is precious. :)
Already she has grown and fattened some. And she's full of bounce and wiggles, too.  o(:-)

It will be interesting to see if her red tips stay red, or turn black like her mother.

Yeah, Peter was named by my daughter before we were certain of her gender. The other calf born that night was Tink. So it was the year of the lost boys. Literally - they were all girls.  lol
