Now everyone knows that I like our cows. OK, I really Love our cows and when Daryl said that Scarlet needed to go into the barn because she was getting close to having her calf – well I couldn’t be more excited!
But why would she want to have it on one of the coldest days that we’ve seen for quite awhile? I guess as long as she’s in the barn and the nipco heater is close by, everyone should be fine.
And guess who’s close by watching over everyone? Our dogs of course. They’ve been around our cows a lot and I think they know when something’s up. Here’s Kaiser just staying close to the calf pen.
They always say that when a storm blows through there are more babies born than normal, and that was the case for us. During the day I got a text with a new baby calf picture on it. Very cool! When Daryl took a first look at him he thought that a good name for him would be bandit because he looks like he has a mask on. This name is perfect! Bandit it is. And guess what? He is SO cute!
With apples in tow, I’ve visited Scarlet many times and just can’t believe how attached I am to this cow. I know that probably sounds kinda weird, but it’s our life on the farm. We’ve taken care of her since she’s been a baby calf and have seen her have her have calves of her own which is so cool.
So for tonight, check out Bandit and see how cute he is! I wonder if he likes apples?
