    Default Non Discus related but, I am a Grandma!!!

    Our first calf born 1/30/2017!!! a little bull calf we've named LeRoy. I guess technically he's on his way to being a steer since we've already banded him. His mom is registered Shorthorn cow and his dad was a Angus/Hereford cross that looked almost exactly like this little guy. This little calf did get the long curly cowlicked hair of a shorthorn though. He is cute, there is a dirt pile in our pasture and he likes to climb on it. I am trying to stay detached but it is really hard. Just wanted to share with my SD members, some of you know my husband and I are trying to start our own little herd, this is our first round of calves. We have 4 more (hopefully) to come in the next 2 months.

    That is so Cool Jacklyn. If I had the had acreage I would have Cows here as well... at least some Dexters. I guess I will just have to settle for watching your herd Grow!

    Very cool and congratulations Jacklyn. One of my regrets in life is that I never made the move to a farm. I just try to squeeze a lot into my half-acre. No livestock though.

    Discus people are so weird...
    At my age, everything is irritating.

    You don't think we're weird? Larry is building his house around a fish room. I get up at 4 AM everyday to change water in my fish room. And you're grandmothering beef!

    Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! - Hunter S Thompson

    hey you can do a lot with a half acre Steve, like 3000 fish tanks can fit on a half acre

    LeRoy is awesome, we wish he had a black nose and black around his eyes, but that is my husband's only complaint so far.
