*insert country music here*

Ever seen a 12 lb calf? Amber Dawn was barely 10lb when she was born a week ago Saturday. She's so freaking cute! And TINY!!! OMG....she's no heavier than a 1 month old infant. And barely knee high on my fil. She doesn't even come up to Rotten2's waist. This is her standing next to my 75lb Yellow Lab...

Sooooooooo cute. I wanted to bring her home so badly. However, I cannot bottle feed her every 5 hours like she needs right now. *pout* She'll be in the pen at the farm for at least 6 months.
As promised, pictures. Of course, it's morning, but...better late than never, right? And as an added bonus for waiting oh so patiently....Rotten1 and Trouble on the go kart.

I LOVE baby cows! I point them out constantly. I think we should get some, momma.

Wow! That's one tiny calf! Is she from one of those miniature cow breeds?

Breezy said...

I wanna see the pics!!!

Does she "moo" yet?

momma said...

She is from normal sized Beefmaster cattle and was only a week or so early. She's just TINY. She sort of moos, but it's a fairly quiet one.

Oh, she's so cuuuute!

DH grew up on a dairy farm and he never heard of a calf that small.

He is a cutie. I've been told that baby pigs are cute also.

Are you breastfeeding or formula feeding? Oh wait. That pointed question is usually directed at me.

CUTENESS! All three of them actually! I want to live on ranch! I want to live on a ranch!

*smooooooch*

I am determined to meet you the next time I go to Houston.

MONSTY!!!!!!!

So, are you breast or bottle feeding? Amber is bottle fed. Every 5 hours, half of a bottle. Don't ask how many ounces that is, I haven't a clue :)

*smoooooooooooooches*

I saw a momma cow cleaning her baby cow this morning. It was sooo cute.

Bravie said...

Did you know that it is a fact that pigs don't moo? It is actually a cow who goes moo. This was my PSA for the week.

Lasann said...

I just had this terible thought - you (or someone else) is going to eat that precious calf-eeewwwwww! Now that we know it - it has to live a long happy life.
