Brogan's Boy!

We had a newborn calf today! This is the first from our sire Brogan. Good job boy, you did it! Surprisingly, the mother is the only heifer we didn't think was pregnant, the Fur Real Farms Mama with the mostest, Cíarin!

For those keeping score, Cíarin has been bred three times total. Her first, Coorie, we lost earlier this year to bloat. However, she also calved Caledonia, the first calf ever to be born on our farm. Yet here she is showing our other cows how it's done. Introducing, Ruairidh, but we're just going to call him Rory. It means red king and he's just so adorable. 

Rory spent the afternoon in the hay stack and all the cows and donkeys came to greet him. By this evening though, Cíarin recovered enough to become the over protective mother we know she is. I'm going to risk her wrath tomorrow to stay close to him. Yes Mom, I'll be careful!
