A new baby was born here on the farm last night, just after midnight. ...it's a boy! We'll be playing the name game for a short time while we try and think of a good name for the little fella.
I took some photos this morning at about 8:00. Looks like he'd just had himself some breakfast. He's got a bit of a milk mustache!
Here, Princess (his mama) is licking his head ... ewww ... cow licks!
After some breakfast, naps, and lunch, he spent a bit of time exploring (on very wobbly legs) the barnyard. He's very brave -- not even afraid of the chickens! =)
How cute! Since his Mom is a "Princess" then he should have some sort of royal name, too. Maybe something like "Sir Loin" or "Buckingham"(Bucky, for short)! LOL

I absolutely love your photos and especially those of your animals! I think Cole ("Coal") would be a cool name with all that black hair. Hehehe... thanks for sharing.

How about "The calf formally known as Prince", since his momma is Princess. LOL!

He's so adorable! My mom thinks you chould name him Braveheart. And there's nothing wrong with cow licks, my dog gets them all the time, it's cute! Congrats.

How sweet is he??? :0) I love baby cows--unless you happen to be on the "pulling end" of one being born.....MESSY! LOL Anyhow....he looks like a hairy little guy, so a cute possible name could be "Prince Hairy" HAHA! Thanks for the great photos! :0)

Hmm.... I was thinking 'Clapton' - you know the song "after midnight" it was the first thing that popped in to my head reading your post. You could also name him 'Hank' - like Midnight in Montgomery.Hank Williams.... anyhow he is beautiful.

How Cool. My son, who's 5, loves when I show him pictures of all the animals that you have on your farm. He thinks you should name him Blackie. :)

Oh Anna, he is so adorable! What a sweetie! This brings back memories for me too of my aunt and uncle's farm growing up, it was my most favorite place to visit! I'm with Viv, I think Midnight is the perfect name!

I look forward to your great photography everyday. I think GM would be a great name, short for Got Milk! teehee

I love baby cows!!! Well actually I love baby anything except for reptiles of any kind. I think that you should name him Duke or Prince, you know stay in the royal theme. I cant wait to see more photos of babies.
Posted by: Chris | April 11, 2007 at 06:11 PM
Viv is right!! Midnight would be perfect! :)
He's adorable, Anna :)

Anna, How sweet! While being a "city girl" I can appreciate the beauty of new life. Can we give a name choice now? If so, I'm going for "Braveheart" Ida
