A new look!

I'm not sure if Mona Lisa looks any different to you all from her last debut on the blog, but she's defiantly got a new look about her. On Tuesday evening this past week we picked up our "little dexter" from a near by Farm where we had taken her to be breed. Upon pick up I quickly noticed just how small our cow really was compared to the others in the field. Like I have mentioned before Mona Lisa is a Dexter which is a miniature dual purpose breed. I have not been around cows much so there for she was actually kind of large to me since I am always in the field with goats. When we first brought her home she made me quite nervous with her size and nervousness since all our goats are like pets. This time I couldn't get over how small she seemed to me when I got up close with the others in the field. I am sure thankful that we chose the Dexter's now cause those other BIG cows can stay in their own field!

Mona Lisa is expected to calf early next year. Her due date is actually my birthday and I can't think of a better present than to have a new little calf!

Drawing the line...

Well I think I said that I was no longer going to allow baby chickens in my house. Never say never... cause it came back to get me. Last weekend my husband called to inform me that I would be needed at the house by noon that Saturday. As I pondered what he said on the way home I could only imagine what was in store for me. Yes, you could probably guess it by now but he had more animals to add to our farm. He pulled up with a truck full of baby chickens. So here they are in my laundry room sink once again. We've got 12 new cornish rock meat chickens! Oh how I am looking forward to having these in the fridge soon.
