Born in the wee hours overnight, is our newest baby, a bull calf and we've named him "DUNCAN". His mommy is Snowflake and his daddy is Nougat. I find it interesting that the red markings on his sides are very close in configuration!

Looking a bit sleepy here I think


Mom coming to check on him


Waking up and looking adorable!!!


Wonderful Longhorn markings! Mom standing over him . . . what you can't see on mom are her very imnpressive horns! The extra pair of legs belong to one of the older calves on the other side of Snowflake


Thanks for letting me share!

He's a cutie! How long will his horns get when he's full-grown?

Cindy,
It's hard to tell the length on his horns. . . every one of our Longhorns has their own unique set of horns. Lengths and curve configurations are different for each one. Just kinds have to wait and see.
One thing I love about Longhorns is that their markings are so varied!

What a beautiful baby!! A new calf always brings such joy to the farm! He brought a smile to my face just seeing his picture. How big is your herd?

CJ: he is just adorable! When we were horseback riding in Texas we came upon a herd of longhorns. They were so tall! I hadn't been around them before. Congrats on the little one.
