The black blob by her head
is her calf coat, which she took off herself.

A calf coat? Do they wear sweaters
too? Just pulling your leg.Here
by way of blogmad,stop by for a visit.
Hi michele, we do have coats for them to wear in the winter. It saves a lot of newborns. We don't usually use them this late in the year, but it has been really cold and wet here for weeks. However, little Sarabeth did NOT want a coat on, even though she was born on a really nasty day. Thanks for visiting.
Beautiful and talented...great combination. Although she might turn out to be a handful someday!
She's too cute.
Awww, she got my "aww how cute" hormones going! How old is she in that photo?
cutie!
She was about three hours old when I took that photo.
She's a lot better looking than FC's pig.
Cubby, amazingly she was nearly 3 weeks premature and has those weird upward-staring eyes that bovine preemies often have. It hasn't slowed her down a bit. At less than a week old, she is eating hay, pushing down the paddle on the automatic water bowl to get a drink and jumping around like a kangaroo. We have a days older, full term baby that hasn't even made the grain-nutirtion connection yet! We finally got the coat adjusted so she can't get rid of it though. Nights are pretty cold yet, and she has very little body fat because of being born too early.
FC, she looks better now, all dried off and with the iodine from her navel-dipping not so much in evidence.
Carina, as Paintsmh, who is our daughter and her owner said, she was a couple of hours old and still wet in the photo. It was a horrible day and she took a picture to show me that the newbie is a "black red", a fairly unusual coat pattern in Holsteins. We have two now from the sire, Kenyon. The other is even redder, but she is shedding out black.
TalkSmart, thanks for stopping by.
Paintsmh, love you baby, thanks for milking so I could catch up the books today.
The Macbean Gene, thanks for visiting, love your blog, and yes, she is a really, really big improvement on that piggy backside!
Beautiful, Talented & STUBBORN...lol.
I'm glad you shared the pic.
