One of Pops’ cows had a calf last week. A cute little red calf.
LOOK AT HER TINY FACE! HER LITTLE LEGS! HER TWITCHY EARS! HER LOOONG EYELASHES! HER RUMPLY RED FURS!
Oh I love red calves. Red cows are OK, but red calves are so cute they make me want to sneak them extra milk bottles behind Pops’ back, even if the powdered milk mix smells so sweet that it makes me want to throw up when I have to reconstitute it. Of course, red calves aren’t as highly prized as black calves, or even black and white calves, because you can’t sell them for as much.
I say Pops keeps this calf anyway, because she’s ridiculously cute.
She’s very tame too, says Pops, and he even got close enough to her (and her cow mom) in the pasture last weekend to give the calf a noogie.
Calves like noogies. Just try it sometime and you’ll see that they do.
