There has been a new arrival at my father-in-law's farm!
The call came late Friday night, it was time. Mr. Auburn quickly got dressed and headed for the labour ward. Some help was required as Mammy Cow had become very tired. In the small hours of Saturday morning, this little one arrived...
She is about 12 hours old in these pictures and still a bit unsteady on her hooves.
She hasn't quite figured out where to get the milk from herself yet but we're hoping she'll get the hang of it soon...
..both Mother and baby are doing just fine!

How sweet! I just love baby calves.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable story!
ReplyDeleteI remember the excitement of kid goats being born when I was a child. What a lovely little calf.
