We recently got a bottle calf and he's just the cutest thing :) His mommy had twins and the farmer didn't want the mother to get too weak, so we adopted a new baby.
Yesterday morning I got to go feed him...quite an interesting activity! He's a good eater, but boy is he messy! I had slobber all over my pants by the time he was done...yuk! I had to feed him again in the afternoon and we did much better job.
We've had calves in the past, but none as cute as this little guy. I just love the patch of white on his face :)
He's ADORABLE!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try my hand at feeding him :)
Hehee. White patch face on a patch of snow! Too cute. Have fun with him!
ReplyDeleteAwwww! So cute! I miss the farm in Spring.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie -- and what a fun, and sweet, thing to do! I had wondered what you meant on the chat when you mentioned a calf!
ReplyDeleteawww.. so cute!!! I didn't realize your home was a farm too. Are you going to keep him forever?? Do they grow pretty quickly?
ReplyDeleteAwww! He is absolutely adorable Edi! I imagine it will be fun to raise this little guy into adulthood.
ReplyDeleteaawww....so cute!
ReplyDelete(I hope the slobbering abates.)
Oh my, how adorable! I look forward to watching him grow.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh - he's so cute! heck, my dogs slobber on me when they get treats. : ) Well, I guess quantity is probably quite different.
ReplyDeleteSO CUTE! I love that you adopted this sweet little guy!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, just too cute!! :)
ReplyDeleteAaaww...I can just imagine the slobbery mess. =0) But he sure is a cutie!

Aaaaah! Hello, little friend! Did you name him yet?
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, baby animals are just the cutest! Keep us posted on how fast he grows!
ReplyDeleteHe's so cute! I've never been close to a baby calf but sure would love to try to bottle feed one!
ReplyDeleteHe sure is cute! I have bottle fed goats before and helped the neighbor with her piglets when she had them. It's so much fun to watch them eat - but, like you said - very messy sometimes! LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat! You have a baby cow??? He's the cutest thing ever. I've heard of neighbors giving away kittens or puppies when there's too many in the litter, but not cows! I love that white patch on his face too. :)
ReplyDeleteHe is really cute, Edi! I like that white patch on his forehead, too.
ReplyDeleteOh, he is absolutely the cutest, ever! Good luck with the feeding, he'll figure out what to do soon enough, and won't be so messy. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a cutie! I look forward to photos as he grows.
