Last week brought us two new calves one day, a third the next, and, sadly, a still born on the next. It was a breech (hind feet first) presentation and things went wrong--a sad lesson for Josie about farm life.
But she dealt with it and is delighted with the three new heifers whom she has named Goldie, Luna, and Silky.
I could only get a picture of one as the others were out of range.
But I did get a picture of this hardy little rose still blooming in our dooryard. It was a gift back in '76 or '77 from the lady whose farm this was. She propagated it by cutting a slip from her rose, sticking it in the ground and covering it with a glass jar. And it's still going strong.

That is quite the sudden addition. Too bad that it wasn't one more.
Poor mama cow having a breech birth. At least it would seem more difficult, and the sad outcome as well. So glad there are three little calves to cavort about in the fields.
Why didn't I know you raised cattle? A lot of that done around here. In fact front page story in local paper was of a guernsey cow that won top honors in Wisconsin recently. Farm is not far from here.
