Lovely calf, well done to mum.

Just love piccies of calves, almost as much as I love watching them skipping about in the fields.

Thank you for all your comments. I still have a stupid grin from ear to ear!
To answer Rosemary
Molly the Moilly is due tomorrow, she also is pure and went to an Irish bull so :fc: The Beltie is not pure, her sire was a Vaynol so I put her to an Aberdeen Angus bull and she didn't take, although there is a small chance that it was too early to tell when she was scanned. So just have to wait and see.
