Ain't they cute?
Finally some healthy calves:banana02: They are about a week old, twin heifers. There mother was a bridle, maybe gurney? and the sire was a Holstein. What do you all think of those spindly front legs. Will they straighten up?

Yes cute calves. The only thing that I could add is that they are much older than one week...Not that it matters....Congrats, very healthy twins.

Nothing wrong with those front legs, lots of calves look knock-kneed when they are very young. Pretty soon they will grow into them and before you know it they will start looking like little cows.
Cute calves.

Precious babies! Thanks so much for sharing! We just had our Holstein/Jersey X bred to a Jersey bull, so can't wait to see the calf. Hoping it's similar in appearance to yours.
