Yesterday, I’d been lamenting that all the mamas and babies in the cattle herd had been put right behind our house, but I never got to see the cute little spotted calf I’ve been enjoying since the day they were born (still don’t know male or female).
Today, though, I noticed that they were all in the back tank/pond, which still has a good amount of water in it, bathing and mooing. There was also a bonus creepy cow staring at me from within the willow trees. She looked menacing.
But there was my little woolly, spotted friend, watching his mama take a bath. I went outside and hoped the dogs wouldn’t bark at them, but hooray, they’re used to them now, and Carlton and Penney just looked. I borrowed Lee’s fancy new camera…I mean, phone. I figured it would be a good test of the new functionality, but in the end, all I did was take a movie and get some nice, clear photos.
The little guy is just so cute. Fuzzy like a stuffed animal, and spotted like one of our horses. If I had a cow, that would be the one I’d want. It could hang out with the horses. I know I’m dreaming, and the Vrazels would not sell me a pet calf. But it’s my Christmas dream.
People have pet cows.! My mom kept a pet cow or two on their farm. There is a lady in texas that has whole pet herds. Our neighbor is keeping a totally pet cow for a pet. The calves are like playful dogs and so innocent.

Our niece, Kathleen, has two very tame cows. They are so sweet.

Is that menacing cow in the brush the new baby’s mama that you talked about in the tagging post?

She may be. I think she is lighter, but that does look like a nice place to give birth.
