 In reference to the previous post, we checked up on the little tyke and found it was a guy. His name is Ram. :D And now.... MORE PICTURES!

Yet ANOTHER calf!

     We just had a third calf! Of the day! Whoooo!! Miss Lego is welcoming her little calf into the world, though we don't know much about it. We haven't checked gender an' all yet. Just glad it's safe, since the sac wouldn't come off his nose right away. But Lego, got it off just as we were going to step in, thank you God! Those little reminders make us so much happier for healthy calves. Just thought I'd give ya'll the update!

Woot!

Brandybuck

And the new one

      Two calves in one day! Lena calved last night with her little boy named Brandybuck, who is adorable, and a little larger than normal! :D And just this afternoon, Rosie calved! Our first whiteface!!!! He is not named yet, but he will be soon!

Trisscar!

Trisscar

   

In action!

    We have our second calf! *much rejoicing* Her name is Trisscar, and she was born the 26th of February to Henry. She is doing great an is quite active and likes to run around a lot, but a picture is worth a thousand words so I'll give you some! (Pictures, that is)

The Happenings

    I have three happy news-es. (Four if you count those pictures of Tarquin) First is that we are looking for a new bull. We recently visited a breeder of Herefords and saw some of his adorable bulls. And obviously took photos. We're thinking about two two year-old bulls, '47 and '13, and a yearling which I cannot remember the number of. My personal favorite was '30. He came up and licked my hand. I just about died. (Out of joy, not danger) I apologize about the small number of photos but the camera died. =P The second part is it snowed! Or rather, is snowing! We have drifts that come up to my waist! It's expected to continue to snow until late tomorrow, and I am super happy. 

     And my last bit of news. The first calf of the year is here!! Bluebell! :D Born to Rubie she is about 6 hours old and resting comfy in the barn where we herded her out of the snow.
      That about sums it up! Farewell for now!
