Title: New arrival

Charlotte arrived Thursday morning with no help from us.  Mum (Star) managed fine on her own!  Now all we have to do is persuade Star that she wants to be a house cow and wants to be milked.

She's lovely. I'm jealous. What breeding is she and Star?

Hi Rosemary

Star is a Beef shorthorn X Aberdeen Angus and the bull was a Beef Shorthorn so Charlotte is 3/4 Shorthorn.

Congratulations, we can sit up until the early hours but all our youngsters seem to arrive when we take a break :cow:

Congratulations...no matter how many you have seen being born, or found after the deed is done, its still a thrill!

We have four pregnant Dexters...I can't wait until next Spring to welcome them all (hopefully) into our family.
