Weaning

We’ve weaned the calves off the two year old heifers, which included my milk cow Bugaboo’s calf and the bum I bottle fed with her milk. The milk cow and her calf Peekaboo didn’t mind much, but oh! how my Angus bum Sambo misses me. He bawled more than any other calf and still talks to me when I come near the corral. He sucks my coat, my fingers, my hoodie strings – anything he can get hold of. Peekaboo, though, she’s just curious and into everything…and she’s a beauty. The black tips on her hair set off her buckskin and rust color. She sure doesn’t look like she’s going to be a petite little Jersey though – she has some bone under her.
