New Cattle

First up is Hope. Hope will need to be tamed down a bit as the first time someone went near her paddock ... she went over a fence ... and then another fence ... and finally a third fence that got her back in with her friends. She is going to live with my friends Heidi and Steve, along with Razzle Dazzle, who is 'in with the bull', and Millie, who was 'in with the bull' about 8 months ago. They are all leaving for their new home in later September. Hope will be tamed down by then ... we all hope ... hehehe
These two are mine. In front is Valean Kerra's Promise. Behind is Valean Faith's Joy. They are out of old dun cows and they are much tamer than their friend Hope!
Of Course, girls will be girls ... and the rough and tumble play between heifers that were already here ... Whiskers and Winka ... and the new girls ... is in full gear! That is Winka in front. She has put on some weight and appears to be in pretty decent condition.

16 year old Valean's Faith also came ... but she didn't like being confined ... and managed to get in with the main herd ... and the bull. Seems that she was cycling and thus had NO interest in staying where I wanted her to be. More about her later.

For those who are keeping count ... I will overwinter five cows and 4 yearling heifers here at Willow Garden ... along with a yearling bull, a bull calf, and a steer calf.

Thanks so much for taming Hope for us. We are really looking forward to meeting her, Millie and Razzle Dazzle! :)
