fotos taken today.
we r gona call him Arrow after his father Trondra Arrow. hes a good strong bull calf too.
daala has took 24 hrs to adjust to having a baby and is now very gud. she was a bit shell-shocked at feeding times so needed tied up a couple of times but now has the hang of it. just a bit ticklish. her first calf, hopefully many more to come. shes very bonny and so is the wee calf.

Gosh, if Arrow is his sire, your calf could be huge - we saw Arrow and Viking together a few weeks back and Arrow made Viking seem petite and delicate...

Calf looks grand and Mum seems to have taken to her new task well.
