It finally happened!!!!

July 24, 2011

Well......It finally happened !!!!!!!!  Our long awaited moment happened during the night or early morning hours........Our Oreo had her calf!!!!!!!!!!! I woke up this morning, as the coffee was brewing i walked to the window to check on the sheep, Rosey, that had made several escapes out the fence the other day, and to my surprise....... i spotted something white on the ground up the hill, grabbed the binoculars, and confirmed it was indeed the baby.

I couldn't stand it....I had to get a closer look and get some pictures because hubby is out at work and it will just drive him crazy not to see this cute little thing. She let me walk down a little closer in the field to get a good look.  She seemed calm and confident, being her first calf.

Isn't it soooooo cute........Not sure if it's male or female yet. I didn't want to get to close for too long and make her nervous. She is showing all the signs of being a good momma cow, very attentive to her young.  When we know the gender we will post it's name along with more pics. 

All the new additions to the farm, along with the regulars, are all co-habitating together just fine.

Thanks for stopping by............ more later.
