Calf color

More pictures of Libertybelle's first day.  She met the rest of the herd.  Maybe a bit overwhelming for a one day old.  After all, everyone else is much bigger.
 

If I close my eyes, will they all go away?

 Then to mama for some reassurance, cuddles, and kisses.

 

Lastly, dinner time.  Socializing with the family works up an appetite.

 

For my Dexter friends, I tried to show pictures of her eyes, nose, and hooves.  There does not seem to be any black rings/hairs.  Maybe/probably we have a color calf, just don't know which color.  So I tried to show some differences with the light and camera.  She looks red in the sun and dun in the shade/clouds.

Wow!  I really just thought we would have black calves and that would be that.  Shows what I know! :-)

Greetings to All

Hello.  This is the start.  Allow me to introduce you to the herd.

First, there is Annabelle the big boss.

 Oops, those are the little bosses. ;-)  Here is the BIG boss.

 Then, Bluebelle the shorty and Sambo's buddy and the first mama.

 

 Lastly, there is Clairabelle almost Annabelle's twin, just a tailset difference.

 

From Valentine's Day of 2012, when they arrived at the farm, till October break, that was all there was to see here at the farm, at least cow-wise.  Then the family took a little trip north.  Quick stop at the capitol to buy a livestock trailer.  After all, who bothers to take care of something like that, till on the drive up to pick up an animal.  After hopping over the state boarder and camping in the snow, sleet, and rain (in a tent, no less) on Lake Michigan, we arrive at 'the bull breeder' in our area.

And now....................
Meet Sambo, the bull.

268 days later from his arrival (I know, fast mover and we were concerned he had not done his job yet)!

Introducing, in her web debut,

Libertybelle
