Peekaboo

My beautiful Jersey heifer is weaned, contented and running with the other weaned calves. Peekaboo listens patiently to any and all of my stories, she’s always eager for a rub and a scratch, and in return I even get a slurp along an ear once in a while. I “milk” her occasionally, or catch and lead her around, just so she remembers her early lessons in milk cow-dom.

The other day several of the calves got into a porcupine. As curious as she is, we figured she’d be full of quills, but I found just one quill under her chin. I can’t imagine how she figured that out so fast…she must be as smart as she is pretty!

Since I’m not looking to leave my happy home, I won’t tell the Head Honcho she’s smarter than his Angus calves that were full of quills. It’ll just be my secret!
