There's one photo on the TAS fb page but more to come. Lots more.

He's called George, by the way.

I happened to be at Dan and Rosemary's today, George looks to be a right cracker (please note i know nothing about cattle) his mum Breeze is certainly very attentive of him though, he is one well looked after little man!!!

Lovely photos. Baby is so sweet. It's great to see newborn photos.  I havent had much thought on cows but mum looks really sweet, and not too big. Think I could consider a sheltand if the time ever arrives. was admiring some highland cattle too last week.    Mmmmm seems I'm warming to cow quite nicely  :cow:  :love:
