Thank you to Kerri Kershaw Niemeyer for watching the farm today incase Dolly had her baby. Dolly nicely waited until I got back so Kerri and I were both in the dark with our phone flashlights assisting Dolly during birth at 9pm. Everything went perfect and Dolly is now cuddling with her baby girl. I can’t wait to see this little one tomorrow all dried off. She has Dolly’s s***k already.

Well nothing like a 9pm birth. Stay tuned for her all dry.
Way to go Dolly. A little girl!!

The babies name will be a tribute to Dolly Parton,Dolly’s namesake, but we already have a Jolene so we are going to think about this one.

We get several questions about mini cows such as size and height. If you’ve ever been around full-size cows, then it will be very noticeable but if you have not, the comparison is quite different.

I said her I meant him. They all want to steal Charlie from Livvy because he’s so tiny and cute

Well, Poppy sure knows how to pick her timing!

Yesterday, right in the middle of tornado alerts and flood warnings, Poppy decided it was the perfect time to have her baby!

For once, I was able to record the entire birth, so I’m sharing it for anyone who is interested in watching. Fair warning watching a calf being born isn’t for everyone! ❤️ A minute of down time in the middle. Apparently Poppy can count to 3 also🤣. What I was doing was waiting for her to contract to pull.

The way we do things around here is pretty simple: if one of our moms needs assistance and we’re able to help, we help. Sometimes that means simply sitting beside her, rubbing her belly and reassuring her. Other times it means helping reposition a calf or giving Mom a little assistance during delivery.

Poppy was doing a great job, but her baby had a nice, fat little forehead 🤣 and needed a little extra help getting out. So I stepped in and gave Poppy the assistance she needed.

There’s something pretty incredible about being trusted by an animal you’ve cared for to be right there beside her during such a vulnerable moment.

Welcome to the world, sweet girl!

Because it’s not fun unless the animals torture us during a possible tornado with torrential downpours.

Welcome Poppy’s baby girl
