My dad gave me a calf!

[haviris]

I've held off on saying anything, I didn't want to jinx myself and lose her, but I'm excited that my tiny herd is finally growing! I now have a grand total of two cows!!!

Well not exactly, I have one cow, one steer, one bull calf, and now a heifer calf! But the bull calf won't be staying and of course the steer is just useless pasture art!

So here she is, I've been calling her Drama,

Awwww, she's so cute I miss having our bottle calf. How old is she?

4 days, she was born Saturday!

What is she (dexter?)? and how CUTE!!!

 

[haviris]

No, just a mutt I guess, we normally have purebred bulls and mixed cows, but I don't know what breed her dad was. (I have pics of both parents if anyone wanted to guess).

I'm sure a new calf isn't as big a deal for someone that has alot of cattle and has calves born all the time, but w/ only one cow I only get one a year (but two this year!), and so far she has refused to give me any heifers! So my herd isn't growing very fast.

And we're not sure this baby got enough colostrum, so even though she's a happy jumping lively baby now, I just keep waiting for her to crash and me to lose her.

Well, she doesn't have to be any special breed, she is a cutie regardless. I have a friend who just got 2 dexter calves, and they look like yours, that why I thought maybe.
We only raise 2 or 3 calves a year, so I go on cuteness overload when they arrive, so don't feel bad, LOL.

She is cute!

As a dairy operation, I have calves arriving year around, I never get tired of their cuteness.
