ANNOUNCING... QUATRO Y UNO!!!

In this case, Quatro y uno = Dos!!!  Bad math, you say!!!  All of our cattle are ear-tagged.  Mr Bull is Numero Uno!!!  And the heifers are 2-6!  That's the extent of our herd!!  BUT now we have SEVEN!!  Number 4 gave birth Saturday evening to a very sturdy, healthy little heifer who will soon wear ear tag #7. 

INTRODUCING  our FIRST calf (here, 12 hours old):
and it turns out, she has a lot of vim and vinegar and she's only 48 hours old:

Her mom keeps a close eye on her at all times and hustles about to keep up with the frolicking little #7.  She kicks her heels up like a bucking bronc and she runs like the wind. As you can see she's a very cute furry little baby.  She will soon have playmates to frolic with as I think Mr. Bull has proved himself x 5.  Even little White Face (above), the youngest of our heifers, looks pretty pregnant though she won't be second to give birth.  We should have one or two more in the next couple of weeks

This afternoon, Mr Bull was checking out his offspring!
Check out her beautiful long eye lashes!  I'm jealous!!!
