White Highlands are
plentiful at Wild Rose Meadows. The reason we have so many Highlands is
that we keep trying to even out the colors. We never quite catch up. |
 |
Babysitting is commonly a
shared task among Highland cows. Even the bull takes a turn babysitting.
Here Laurel watches three calves while their mothers graze. |
 |
Little Doll is the
"Grand Dame" of the herd at Wild Rose Meadows. She throws more
hay out of the bale feeder than she eats. Dave says with the price
of hay, Little Doll would be hamburger, if she didn't give fantastic
calves, |
 |
Little Doll and her new calf, March 2006.
It was muddy - the hay feeder looked like the best
spot to camp out! |
 |
Little Doll's Calf One
day old - soaking up the sun in the hay feeder. |
