Rosie had a heifer calf last night

This lovely little heifer is a keeper. I'll be
keeping her to breed to my new miniature Jersey bull,
just arrived from Fonnie Thoman's in Ohio. David
wanted me to get more active with the cattle but I'm
much more excited about having a little herd of
miniature Jerseys. The folks who farmsteaded our
place in 1910 built a dairy barn on a very small
scale. Well, actually it's a bit barn but the cement
pad between the stanchions and the trench is very
short - we could figure it out till they sent us
photos of the tiny jerseys they had back in the
1930's.
Here's Cadfael - he just arrived this past week. He's just over 5 months old now and he's a cutey.
