Motherly love

You can't tell by looking, but Max the calf wants some milk, and his mother will have to stop chewing her cud and get up before he'll get it.  He's trying to let her know what he wants.

Finally Bonnie, in that clumsy way cows have, gets up.

What?  What are you looking at?  Can't a guy and his mother bond a little?

He's my baby and he's HUNGRY!  Go away with the camera.

Mom's cookin' is the best.


By the way, look how big Jody is getting (the one in front, below).  She'll be a year old before long.

You can tell she isn't a full-blooded Jersey.  Her legs are stockier than Bonnie's, and she doesn't have the pretty refined head of a Jersey.  Still, she's a lovely heifer.





Here's Jody when she was a couple of weeks old.  What a cutie.
