My new baby
We have a new baby at our house. He is a Hereford/Angus cross bull calf, born June 16, 2010. I have to explain over and over again to my girls that he is NOT a cow. A cow is a bovine who has given birth. This is a male baby hence a bull calf. He still has all his parts. I named him Buddy since no one came up with anything better. Tom wanted him to be named Supper but I had to draw the line somewhere. I am continuously amazed at what a poor job I did in teaching them about farm life. I am thankful that I have been able to teach the boys a little bit more about where their food comes from and the circle of life. The little dog is chasing her tail round and round. What a weird dog. When we got Khaos she became the "litttle dog" as Buck is so much bigger. Now we have a quandary, with Peanut here she is no longer the "little dog". Now what can we call her? Medium dog just doesn't have the same ring to it.
