J had a set of twins born last week, three weeks early. He said the cow was mean and took off with only one. So, instead of fighting with her over trying to make her take the other one, J just brought it home.
She is so tiny and cute as a button. So now that's her name, Button.
She is a perfect little calf, just really, really small.
We don't have a scale at the barn, but I am guessing she weighed in at about 25 pounds tops when she was born.
She is a good eater, so maybe she well grow quickly.
Then there is Maggie. Yes, I finally named her. At 5 months old I thought it was about time to take her in and spay her before she got any bigger.
She wasn't too happy with the car arrangements. When I got her to the clinic she tipped the scales at 60 pounds.
After the surgery, I left her at the clinic for a couple of days so she could recuperate. Can you tell she likes to eat? She fell asleep with her head in her food bowl. Everything went well, and now I just need to take her stitches out.
Well button is certainly apply named (until she gets big). Maggie falling asleep eating - funny.
