I have seen pics of baby dexters and she does look similar now, but I only think she looks that way now, she won't after she gets alittle older.

Both my parents have cows, mom recently cut way back (one cow, and three heifers), so this year she only had one, but dad's herd has been growing so there are always calves being born, and they are always super cute!

It's just different when it's my own! One of Dad's cows had a really pretty redish heifer w/ white markings on her face and ears, I thought she was so cute and I'd love to get one just like her!! But now I have this completely solid black girl and I think she's the prettiest thing ever!!

Every year I eagerly await my cow's baby, and it's always a beauty! But my excitement is always alittle over shadowed by my disappointment that it's a boy.

I will post pics of the parents later, I'm not on my computer and don't have any on this one.

I wouldn't doubt theres alittle floppy ear in there, ever once in awhile an extra floppy calf will pop up! But there's not near enough in my opinion, I'm with you on the floppies, I love them!! My dad has some floppy earred heifers that I wish were mine!

Be thankful!
My dad hates the floppy ears as much as my Hubby!
