It has been a very fun and interesting day at Hat Trick Farm. Today one of our first time mamas, Suzette (not the one pictured) delivered a beautiful heifer calf. Unfortunately for the calf, the mother abandoned her. While we tried to get Suzette to let the baby (who was named Annie--as in Little Orphan Annie!) nurse, another mother tried to take it. Now we know that Farlow, the other mother, was in labor and probably thought that we took her calf. In the end we wound up letting Farlow have Annie as her own. The picture above is of Annie (left), Farlow (middle) and Henry (right and who was Farlow's actual calf).
A little more news since Molly was born. We have lost another calf and had 3 more living calves. All the babies names are Molly, Zagnut, Bella, Noella, Annie and Henry.
That's a lot of calves, Hat Trick! Expecting any more?
