Calling her Mabel after DHs' mum as it's her birthday, and called my dad to thank him as he bought Bambi for us. Will post photos soonest. Texted Tina as we bought Bambi from her, and all our herd-share owners as we should be in the milk business again come Monday / Tuesday.
Mama Bambi with her new heifer calf, Mabel. She hasn't nursed yet, can't find the teat. Tried to suck mums' tail, and the afterbirth. The first photo taken of mum and new calf. She's a cutie. She's still wobbly on her feet, but between carrying, pushing, coaxing and leading, got her and mum to the lower barn from the pasture where she was born. Bambi has just given birth to a girl calf. She was still wet when I saw her, so will go get her in about 1/2 hour once she's dried off and mum has given birth to the afterbirth.
