Bessie the calf

P8240418

We have a new addition to the family.

Bessie the calf. She is a 3/4 jersey and 1/4 Friesian cross just 10 days old, about the size of a large dog and…..unbearably cute.

At the moment she is tucked up in a trailer crate in the back yard keeping warm and being fed four times a day for a bit.

The kids adore her. She will, one day in the future, become a family milking cow, but in the meantime she is just a pet. She enjoys being let out of the pen and exploring the back yard with lots of running and jumping.  Baby animals are such time wasters!
