Cute calf with that little star on its forehead. Looks like she is up and going, and momma is keeping a close eye.

There they are! Yeah, that Mama cow has an owly look about her.
I would be pretty careful about playing dress-up with her baby. LOL

You are going to be drowning in milk pretty soon.

What is your milkbarn set-up like?

We have an area in the barn with a headgate and a stall next to it for the calf. Some day I'll take pics of it and post.

Yes, she's a jersey cross.

I want to applaud all of you that have the patience to milkshare with the calf.
We just took the calf away this evening. It was dangerous while it lasted. Maybe we'll try again with another cow/calf.............perhaps our much smaller jersey.
