A New Arrival

Hammerstead Farms is pleased to announce our newest resident: a Highland calf born this morning to Maeve - who, coincidentially enough, was our first Highland heifer! Which makes this little guy the first calf owned by Hammerstead to actually be born on the property! (When Wulfie had Chip last year, the birth was actually over at Kevyn's place.)

I haven't been able to get close enough to determine the sex, but I suspect it's a bull. If so, he's soon to be a steer.

More to follow ...

Update: It's a girl! Weight: about 60 lbs (about 27 kilos) Length: about 47 inches tip of nose to base of tail (about 120 cm).
