Rosie’s New Calf 4-25-2019

Rosie our short legged Dexter surprised me Thursday morning. I was feeding and out of the corner of my eye I saw Lillie (Great Pyrenees) nose to nose with what I thought was one of the goats. When I turned to get a better look I saw it was a calf. My mind couldn’t process it at first. I didn’t think any of the cows were that far along but then Rosie looks pregnant all the time. I started walking around all the animals that had their heads in the feed troughs by now, looking for any sign of who the calf might belong to. Finding it was Rosie really shouldn’t have been such a surprise to me since she usually calves in May or early June. She was just a little early but I have been so busy lately that I just didn’t realize that it’s almost May. How time flies when your days and nights are full.
