Surprise!

New Calf

That little patch of brown right under Mad Cow's head is her new calf - we named him "Bonkers"...

He was quite a surpirse, as we weren't sure MC was pregnant - in fact, we were pretty sure she wasn't. All that hair on the Highlands makes it damn difficult to tell, sometimes, and we'd not seen her with a bull. In fact, the only bull we've had here was Mad Cow's dad - and he left last December! So he must've gotten at her right before we loaded him up, 'cause this is about the limit, timewise.

Which is OK, I suppose, as the little guy only has one head and all four feet. And it means that our bull probably got after our other cow, too. And that means another surprise, probably real soon now, unless Chip (the bull) was real sneaky, or somebody from a neighbors field has been fence jumping.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
