Oh my goodness!

Wonderful pictures and congratulations!
If that mama didn't look so daunting I would
get that little fuzzywuzzy calf and give it the biggest squeeze!
How can anything be so precious as that?

Beautiful.

What a handsome/pretty pair.

We used to go to the Pittsburgh Zoo every year when I was little. Way back, hidden behind other exhibits was a Highlands steer. He was SOOO sweet and gentle and would come up to be endlessly scratched and rubbed. My mom would yell that I would smell, or he would hurt me. Cause he was a "wild" animal.

I begged her to ask the zoo to sell it to me/ When they remodeled the zoo, he disappeared.

They are fullblood Scottish Highlands. The calf is a heifer, we could never eat her!
