ceejay48	Posted - May 12 2015 : 1:44:07 PM Yesterday midday (05/11/15), this little cutie, a Longhorn heifer calf, joined our hobby herd of Longhorns. My hubby decided to name her "Beautiful" . . . he's funny about names! Her momma is an almost all white Longhorn, but with some ;small "butterscotch" spots here and there and a very impressive set of horns. We've never had a calf with markings quite like hers! "Beautiful" is most likely to be the last calf as we no longer have a bull and are gradually paring down the herd, hopefully to not have any by the time all the steers are butchered. Longhorns are interesting because you never know how they are going to be marked and each one has a different configuration to their horns. Thanks for letting me share! CJ Taken just about 1/2 hour ago. I was able to reach through the fence and pet her for quite a while. Momma came over and sniffed me through the fence, but she knows me and didn't seem too concerned. The cow directly behind "Beautiful" on the right is "Duncan", a steer who just turned one year old. He's her "big brother". Taken yesterday afternoon, just a few hours old. ..from the barefoot farmgirl in SW Colorado...sister chick #665. 2010 Farmgirl Sister of the Year Mother Hen: FARMGIRLS SOUTHWEST HENHOUSE my aprons - http://www.facebook.com/FarmFreshAprons living life - www.snippetscja.blogspot.com from my heart - www.fromacelticheart.blogspot.com from my hubby - www.aspenforge.blogspot.com

ceejay48	Posted - Jun 07 2015 : 12:22:47 PM We've started moving the cows to the yard of the neighbor to the pasture for their supper graze where, after all our May rain, the grass is very tall. It was funny to watch "Beautiful" disappear into the grass and we could only see the tips of her ears when she had her head up to try to see where either her momma was or where she was going.

ceejay48	Posted - Jun 02 2015 : 7:39:03 PM While waiting for my hubby to set irrigation sprinklers in the pasture tonight, I enjoyed watching "Beautiful" get a bath from her momma. The other calf, "Freckles" (she was born in December) was also getting a bath from her momma.

ceejay48	Posted - May 27 2015 : 12:21:14 PM "Beautiful" is learning how the routine now when my hubby goes to move the cows from one pasture to another. She and the other calf, "Freckles" are new to this but are learning! My hubby has them trained pretty well! They know when he says "go to the gate" they know exactly what to do . . . and they do it!

ceejay48	Posted - May 20 2015 : 2:59:25 PM "Beautiful" is doing well, growing like a weed and becoming more and more independent. What a cutie! "Freckles", the calf born Dec. 11th is so grown up too! The two of them hang out together!

forgetmenot	Posted - May 18 2015 : 8:06:42 PM She certainly is "Beautiful" Cj. That would have been my first thought when she arrived. I can see why your DH named her that. Thanks for sharing!

prariehawk	Posted - May 12 2015 : 7:09:55 PM She really is beautiful. I was at TSC today and saw a sign: "Farmgirls have nice calves". Hmmm, wonder what that means...?
