Daffy and Dillard

Meet the newest addition to the property! Since there are so many Daffodils here, Anthony came up with their names Daffy and Dillard. We call them Daffy and Dill. Anthony told Talon that the big cow was Daddy's and the baby cow was his. He's a sweet kid and always concerned about other people, so his first question was, "Sissy's cow? Mommy's cow?". Daddy let him know that Mommy and Sissy didn't get one this time, but we could look at his. He seemed okay with that answer. We are really happy we can raise our own beef. I'm a little nervous about how Talon's gonna respond when it comes time to butcher his calf, but I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get there. At least it wont be until next year. By then, we will have butchered Daffy and probably have another calf. I guess that's all a part of growing up and learning about the life process with cattle.
They are fun to watch. They've learned to come to the fence and beg for grain. Anthony's a softy when it comes to them, so he's always heading out there to give them their treat. How we are really enjoying living out in the country again!

I love this picture! Dill is already learning to pose for the camera!
