Hello Brogan

Many know by now, but Saturday morning, Rob and I went and picked up a beautiful bottle bull calf to bring home. We had high hopes for Fergus to not only impregnate our girls, but to create straws for others to benefit from his beauty. Unfortunately, we couldn't do that so we had to regroup. 

Cows are herd animals and Fiona and Flora definitely needed a third. While we're not going to worry for anytime soon about procreation, we decided our third should be a male and one who was a yearling. By good fortune, we found Brogan who's mom had abandoned him and was exactly a month old on October first. That's a weanling! He looked nothing like Fergus and just a rowdy boy. 

For this weekend, we just loved on him and only let the other animals admire him from the slats of the stall. Tomorrow, we'll do a monitored introduction to see how everyone gets along and then separate as needed. But I already think Fiona and Flora think he's cute!
