My new plan, that I just came up with yesterday, is to put Hazel out in the main pen with the big cows for a bit everyday. You may ask, ‘Taylor!? Why not put her out there all the time?”
Well, I don’t know. I am probably like a helicopter parent or something. She thinks she is hot stuff out there, Friends. She runs and skips and hops and all the cows look at her like, “Who in the heck are YOU?”
She tried nibbling on hay today.
AND . . . I love her.
I also have a new love: Matilda’s calf.
David: Matilda’s Calf is a girl.
Me (screaming with delight): ARE YOU FOR SERIOUS?!
David: Yup.
Me: Excellent! She will live with me forever and ever.
David: Only if she is a good mother.
Whatever.
Today, she let me pet her. She is sooooooo soft and precious.
I looked at her privacy areas and I saw nipples! And I was excited that David was probably right!
But then I remembered weaner pigs and how confusing they are. All of them have nipples! Boys and girls! So, I checked with David, and all is well. Only girl calves have nipples and I am in love.
This mystery cow calved yesterday. David isn’t even sure who she is.
Hopefully she is ours?
I kid! I jest!
Ok, one last look at Hazel before we say farewell.
Ok.
Farewell.
Wait!! David said Hazel can live with you forever and ever ONLY if she is a good mother?? And so what is going to happen to Hazel’s mother now? Further beef in the freezer perhaps?
Those calves are so cute.
Heaven…..your in heaven…. a wonderful place to be…..enjoy!
