![]() I'm so excited to say we have cows! We started with 3 black angus. They plowed through our fence and spent some time roaming the neighborhood. We sold one back to the guy we bought them from.
We decided to try a different breed and found the Belted Galloway's are much more calm. Pictured are a Black Angus steer and 3 Belted Galloways. The smallest one is the bull - the brown one. We have an Angus heifer in the barn.
I just love how the Belted Galloway's look. They originate from Galloway, Scotland.
Ps. Yes, that's an old outhouse. Not actually being used any more.

Thank you Heather & Denise. She sure was enjoying the sunshine and she is fluffy. She got out this morning and mama & the aunties were not happy. DH & I had a cow audience while we were trying to get her back in!

Thank your everyone. We have another calf, born this morning. Her name is Texette. My son noticed one side looks like the state of Texas. He thought about calling her Sandy - Sandy Cheeks from Sponge Bob is from Texas. But decided on a female version of Texas.

I'm so happy! We have our first calf! My son named him rain lord because it was raining most of the day Saturday when he was born. Isn't he adorable?

Thanks everyone. The cows are doing well. They are growing and the angus seem to have calmed down some.
Krista, my father-in-law had charolais many years ago. He enjoys telling stories about them swimming across a pond to escape. He's happy to see cows on the farm again.
