We’re so excited! Our heifer Annabelle had her first calf on Monday!  She’s a “heifer” no more and enters the hallowed ranks of “cow-hood.”

Here's Mr. Fix-It checking on her at 1 day old.

Annabelle is 3 yrs old and our first baby to have a baby–well, cow-wise anyway. (We seem to throw a lot of bull calves around here!)

Here she is yesterday at 4 days old.

But our baby girl had a baby girl! And she’s a tiny little thing–with ears so big you’d think her daddy was a mule! (Just for the record, he wasn’t, it was our bull Chester. Don’t want you getting mixed up or anything!)

I hope she grows into those things!

She’s a spunky little thing too! Already racing around on those wobbly, toothpick legs.

It's gonna take a lot of work to keep those "wings" clean!

And Annabelle is a great momma so far! No help needed at all. Although I have to admit, our cows believe that “it takes a village” and you’ll find them all washing her up and keeping an eye on her skittering around.

Here's her "big brother" checking up on her Tuesday before she really got her legs going good.

Now we just need a name… (Yes, suggestions are welcome!)
