This made my day!!!

So I mentioned in my previous post that our bull went M.I.A.  Well guess what?  Two days ago we found him and brought him home!  Last week we called the county animal control and told them our situation and told them about our missing bull.  They took hubby's phone number and said they would give him a call when someone calls in to report sighting of the bull.  Hubby got a call from the county animal control the other day and said someone found our bull.  Dexter wandered off to a neighbor's pasture/horse ranch about 3-4 miles from our place.  We borrowed a cattle trailer from a neighbor then with help from a friend went and got Dexter.  (I actually didn't go with hubby this time but stayed home). This time hubby got some alpha alpha to lure him into the trailer and without any problems Dexter went into the trailer.  Yes alpha alpha is Dexter's favorite treat.  He loves it! And hubby said when he took Dexter back to our pasture Dexter was soooo happy to be back with his friends, Peanut Butter, and Blackpearl.  As soon as they opened up the trailer he bolted out and ran right to his friends and mooing and making noises.  If you know Dexter he's a man of few words.  He hardly ever makes any noises so he must have been soooo happy and excited to be back home and to see his friends there!  But this is actually not the thing that made my day.

This morning we went to our place to check on the cows and to feed Spot the pig.  And lo and behold!  A baby calf!!!  Peanut Butter just had her baby and it looks like she just had it either last night or this morning!  We actually thought she lost her baby due to all the trauma and stress she has gone through recently and we didn't really expect her to give us a calf.  So when we saw the calf this morning we were soooo happy!  I can't describe the joy I felt when I saw the calf but it was a great feeling!  We haven't had the chance to get a closer look at the calf yet to see if it's a boy or girl but we are just happy we got another calf.

Peanut Butter just gave birth to a calf this morning.  Meet Jelly the newest member of our farm!  And you also see Dexter in this picture hanging out with his friends and the newborn calf.
