Exciting days down on your farm, HB. I grew up on farms- we had red polls -  and I remember how silly the cows used to get if one of them dropped a calf in the paddock, they'd run round  in circles and  cavort about kicking up their heels, as excited as if a spaceshp had just landed.

She just let him have a good suckle

My daughter married into a family who breed Hereford Cows.Usually when the cow has twins she doesn`t have enough milk to provide for 2 calves so usually the one that misses out ends up been bottle fed...All the calves that they have "raised"  are named and usually kept..it`s amazing how their ears prickup when they are calledSmiley Happybtw Hereford`s are bred for meat and are quite a placid breed,my grandchildren love patting the cows..not bulls tho!!lol

My Beau continued it long enough to be banished to the 'cow' paddock. Nearly performed a free of charge mastectomy lol

Jumped up, hooves on shoulders and then slid down. He was a Murrey Grey so not a light weight.




Blessed are the cracked, for they are the ones who let in the light.

Oh good grief Channys, that must have been a sight to see .... Smiley Very Happy

They are just beautiful...Boy do i wish i could get color like that in one of my foals ( the red& white splashes)..A friend of mine had a shire horse that had twin foals once ( extremely rare)..Been a few years since we had any calves now..We used to have murray grey's..I remember how protective each  momma was of the baby calf..One of our mares rejected a foal once and with lots of persistance got her to accept bubs again.Never a dull moment on a farm

Love Murray Greys, they make great mums but can also stubborn as ......  Hubby is also an ex Murray Grey farmer
