introducing my new baby............
a boy so he will only be here for a few years...........we do run a business and bull calves (once marked called steers) only last here a few years............
now for a name.............
I was all set for Hetty the hereford heifer but then hello it's a boy.........so not sure now..........tried Arthur, Henry, George and Billy but they are not working........thinking it's not going to be a real name........
He's a big lump of a calf........
Maybe he was a twin???? anyway I am his new mother..........
How cute is he...........
Everything around here involves MUD, MUD and more MUD and lots of it at the moment............
We need to do some sheep work today and had to go and drain the yards in order to get the sheep thru............
lots of bucketing involved here...........
then we kind of swept it with grain rakes......to take the slop off the top....
atleast I think the sheep will walk thru now...........it's putrid water/mud and stinks........but the job had to be done.......
So Lamby has a new friend to sleep with now.........in the haystack.......
look at her trying to get the bottles for some more milk........
she is a greedy guts............
She has grown heaps........she loves the deck on the Chookshed...........nice sunny spot out of the wind..........
finally some sunny days and the feed is growing.........
So any suggestions for my new baby boys name????
Catch you later......

I suppose there is always work to be done, be it clean work or dirty work. Someone's got to do it!
Welcome to the new fellow. Is he a Sherlock or Watson?
What about Harry Heifer......
Guess you get mud with rain and rain is good....we've had lots but the sun has just popped through...
Very cute calf. Not sure about playing in that mud
Congrats...he's a beautiful heifer.
Muds good for the skin....maybe not that mud!

Steve the Steer

Thats the one thing I don't miss MUD hahaha... farmers wife, the work is never done :) as for a name Roy, Horace, what about Ernest xxx
If you let him be a bull you could call him Hef as in Hugh Hefner. Ha Ha. May be muddy would be a good name considering the circumstances.
Oh joy! What fun it must have been cleaning out the yards. I bet a long hot shower was required at the end of the day. I know I'm probably politically incorrect here, but what about. " Sir Loin"?
He looks like a Herbie to me. Oooo, waaaay too much mud and muck for my delicate sensiblities lol. Love your header with all the Lucy blocks. Look after yourself.
Butch
Hello Donna, Pedro sounds like a good name for the little boy!!! When we had a few girls, our bull's name was Pedro. He was an excellent bull!!!
A very sweet guy..
Love the sheep ! :-) The mud do not look like any fun.
Lambkin and Calfkin! ;-)
Beefy Botham? If he is a pet for a few years, what happens when it is 'time'?
He reminds me of my 6'5" son, Ben. I think that's a perfect name.
Bye I'm loving those blocks in your header
Butch? Buster? Wellington (eg beef wellington - apologies to the vegetarians!)
they say a mud bath is good for relaxation????
Hugz
Kaffe? Or Hodor? (Sorry, someone's been watching Game of Thrones..) Anyway, he's vert cute! Little John?
Awww isn't he gorgeous!! And little lambkin... I miss having a little lamb around! Oh my, the mud! Looks a bit like around here! xxx
He is a handsome fellow! You are swimming in muddy things it seems.
Mud to means that you have been getting some much needed rain. Always a good thing. Cheers!
Love your farm stories and pics
