My first ever calf.


Here are a few pictures of my first ever cow and calf. The cow is a Longhorn and the calf is half Longhorn and half Angus.
The calf was born February 5th during the Blizzard, so she is called Blizzard. The mother is called Praline because her coloring reminds me of praline pecan icecream.
Don't worry they are not on the menu.
Keith

Thumbs up

What beauties, Keith!

Having been born in Texas, I am familiar with the name "Longhorn!"

Wishing them ALL THE BEST and would like to see adult pictures of the little one!

Love and Hugs

Thank you for the compliments. I have pictures of Blizzard's Father, Shrek, but they are on my cell phone.
I will take some with my camera and post them.
Shrek is a pure blooded angus bull. His ears look like Shrek's ears from the cartoon movie, thus the name.
Shrek is very gentle and likes to be scratched.
I have my cow and calf at a friends farm, where I also keep a lot of my pigeons.
All the cattle are feed trained and come on the run when we call them. The pasture they are usually kept in, is slightly over a mile long and they will come from clear in the back.
The summer pasture is even larger.
Keith

I'd love to fill up my backyard with farm animals! - then I wouldn't have so much lawn to mow. I always wanted a couple of goats

I know how much you like flowers so I am sure you would not like goats very long I have seen where they like the roffs of cars and even the top of an open garage doorOh ya thats how they get up there, the roof of the car. Been there and no more.

Keith, very nice looking pets you have there and the birthing is somthing to be seen but not for the weak LOL I have an intrest in Percherons and last winter one of the fold had to be pulled out by hand and you really don't see it untill it's over, I surprised myself on holding myself together>Kevin

Well...... I could always fence off the back corner where the mower can't go - then I wouldn't have to weed whack!
