It was an exciting day on the farm today, as Alan and I got to watch Lucy deliver her baby. So fun! I will spare you the graphic photos. *grin*
Darcy's calf was quite interested in what was going on. We are certain these two will become fast friends. It was a perfect day for delivery. Yesterday's rain cooled the air. Though a bit windy, the afternoon sun was finding it's way through the remaining clouds.
The name Little Moo comes from a young blog reader named Chris who reads the blog with his mom. He LOVES cows, and suggested that "Little Moo" would be the perfect name for Lucy's baby. We quite agree! Little Moo she is!
First time standing, but a bit wobbly yet. She'll be racing circles around the barnyard in no time!
Baaaaad Boxcar Betty was being unsocial, laying in the bunk feeder with her back to the action.
Callio-Pea napped in the other end of the bunk feeder. Typical afternoon goat activity.
With the activity on the farm today, Alan and I didn't make it to the gun show. Another time, I imagine.
Hope you had a super weekend!
Do you raise Dexters?

Awesome photos, and Little Moo's name fits her perfectly! I'm cracking up at the photos of the back side of Betty and Callio-pea lying in the feeding trough. :)

As a city dweller I do appreciate looking at ALL your life on the farm photo's. I love seeing food grow and new life begin, from the chickens & ducks to the cows and what ever else you take in. Thanks for sharing that experience. Love little moo!

I bet Chris is thrilled that you named her Little Moo. It's a great name, and she is absolutely adorable.
Too bad about the gun show. Steve and Joe went to one in Lincoln on Saturday, but didn't get anything. Joe wants to start napping flint and hoped to get some hunks of obsidian from a guy they saw last year, but he wasn't around.

Anna, I was born and raised in the city from country-born and raised parents. Every time I look at your farm photos, I get a deep yearning to move to the country. Little Moo is the sweetest calf! Beautiful!
