Honey - no Idea when she is due, never seen her be bred but forgot to write down when we stopped seeing her in heat. She is getting pretty wide.

Trying to get a rear shot to show how wide Honey is and Sam our LGD Pup of course had to walk right into the picture when I finally got the camera to co-operate..... those 2 like eachother a lot and he always has to go and touch her when he walks by.

Brown calves are like the cutest things ever. Something so pretty about the way their hair looks :)

Brown Calves are cute, I wish we would have more of them but only this one cow throws browns and they still colour out black later....

Such a cutie pie tho, always lays down beside me when I am milking his momma. His eyes get huge tho if I dare reach over and pet him :lol:

Do your cows ever have an issue with sharing their milk with you and the calf? Do you wean them or let the Mom do it?
