01/31/13: on page 3 in my post from today are a couple new pics of Siobhan and Siete.
Our Longhorn heifer named "Snowflake" gave birth to a sweet little heifer calf yesterday, the 22nd. My hubby named her "Siobhan" (pronounced "shah-von") . . it's an Irish name.
I think she is just the cutest little thing, with perky "freckles".
Mostly white but with some of typical Longhorn reddish markings.

"Freckles" on her ears, around her eyes and on her nose
.JPG)
Tickles me to see the freckles on the backs of her ears too!

And with mom, Snowflake. And, YES, one must be VERY watchful of mom and her horns. She's pretty mild mannered, but you do NOT want to have a close encounter with those horns.

Thanks for letting me share!

Beautiful pics, CeeJay! I chuckled at ClothedinScarlet's post...I had a cow named after me at the ranch next door to my dad's when I was little, about five years old or so. Thought it was really cool until we all had our summer cookoff and we ate it. LOL!

Hey "clothedinscarlet" :D.
Yup, one of our favorite names. I know some folks would think it a downer to have a COW named the same name as theirs. But our Longhorns are pretty unique and special. I love seeing each new baby and how they are marked, watch their personality develop.
And, yes we do eat them . . . we don't eat the heifers unless they prove to be non-producers. We have three steer calves (in line for the freezer when they're ready to butcher), all different ages and their names are "Gunsmoke", "Huntly" and "Peyrone". Gunsmoke is next to go in the freezer . . . and he has been informed.
Our grown heifers are "Patty", "Snowflake" and "Ebony". We're hoping "Siete" is a producer . . I think she'll have some pretty flashy marked calves! The big boy pappa and king of the mountain bull is "Nougat". He is half Longhorn and half Angus. He's built like an Angus but his markings are totally Longhorn.
Very interesting creatures!
Thanks for looking!

Thought I'd share a few newer pics of our "girls" with you. When Robin was home for Christmas she wanted to get an updated look-see of the Longhorns.
Siobhan, our newest girl born October. Growing up! She is a feisty thing and here is getting a bath from mom, Snowflake.
This is Siete, our other girl,(on the left) she's going on 2 years old. Her mom is a totally black 1/2 Angus, 1/2 Longhorn. This girl is just so interestingly marked.
That is me there, she actually did come up and lick my hand . . nothing like cow slobber!!

What a beautiful name once it is pronounced and for such a beautiful baby calf.
They sure change when they get big don't they?
Congratulations CJ

Thanks girls! Longhorns are fascinating creatures. They each have their own distinctive markings and their horns are a bit unique to each one as well.
Debbie and Marilyn were able to visit our Longhorns this last spring, just after the last bull calf, Peyrone, was born. (He's a steer now)
It's fun to go see the new ones and watch then grow.
Siobhan is not wasting any time and making her presence known and strutting her stuff!
Thanks again!

What a lil sweetie! I love the picture of her and momma. Mommas a beautiful girl, too. I can see why you raise long horns. Might have to watch out for those horns, but they are magnificent creatures!
