Sweetheart had her calf :)

She had a bull calf, which is what we were hoping for.

Here are a couple of pictures. I have lots of birth pictures which are amazing (she stood up before he was completely out. I thought I was going to lose my mind), but I was afraid that some of you might not want to see them

If you want to see a progression of pictures from start to fnish, to to the following link

He is cute. I once saw twin calfs being born. It was amazing how they try to stand up and jump around just minutes after birth.

What a cutie!!! What's his name?

No name. None. Zero. lol. We will raise him for beef, so we cannot get attached to him. I told the kids to pour out their calf love on Isabelle--she is more than happy to receive it. Her main goal in life is to snuggle and be scratched.

Check out these pictures of her with the me and the kids...

Can you tell how rotten she is? lol.

You're going to kill it? :cry:

I grew up in the country and even worked on a couple of farms to earn some income but that's the one part that I always dislike, killing the animals.

Don't get me wrong...I like to eat what has been killed but I could never stop myself from getting attached.

How about we call him "Dead Meat"? :lol:

I grew up on a farm. Every year my Dad and Grampa would kill a beef and a hog. Fresh meat tasted so much better than this processed stuff we get at the grocery store. My brothers and I would build a small fire and take the fresh liver and cook it and eat it. Yum Yum.

Lol--now that is a helpful chart.

Little Mister is distracting his mama so much that she is not being a good milk cow. We may have to separate them and bottle feed him :shock:

kewl, Tracy - isnt' life wonderful!?!?!

oh and though I wasn't born on a farm, I was raised on and around them. I was always taught to not play with my food, including naming my food.
