She’s doing fine

I still haven’t decided on a name for her yet, but our newest addition is doing well. Tilly is a gentle, caring mama and is taking good care of her.

The little one has white on the end of its tail, on her belly, and on a couple of her knees. The rest of her is a chocolate brown. I didn’t meet the father, but, when I bought Tilly, I was told that it was a Jersey bull. They only had Jerseys on their farm.

Everyone is excited that Tilly had a heifer. Of course, the children get excited because babies are so cute just in general. This one is no exception.

We’re just beginning a week of below freezing weather. Tilly would wait until the coldest week of the year to have her calf!? I’m going to leave them in their own area until after it warms up and after Chucky Joe is gone (he’s a bit ornery, and I don’t want him to cause any problems). Right now, he seems to think he’s missing out on something and keeps trying to see what’s going on in Tilly’s stall.
