A shot of my bestest girls ... both "brown" babes in their own form, I have loved having these two behind my house, sharing a pasture together. A quick walk from my backyard, I can be in zen mode.

Wiley and Honeybuns have an interesting relationship. The Swiss happily trots to me when I call her, ready to hear about "all the things" (at least I tell myself that, as she's probably just wanting fig newtons and a massage).

The Jersey is an old gal, but still full of "pep" as she's recently shown me when she comes to shove Wiley away from me. She's totally jealous, and has right to be as I've always reserved my attention to her, but it's ridiculously funny.

Cattle really do have their own personalities. Don't get me wrong, a lot of it is driven by genetics and animal instinct, but they become accustomed to their routines.

A bit about these bovines:

🐂 Locust-Ayr Andreas Honeybuns, EX93, is one of Locust-Ayr Farm's members of the "H" family. Generations of this family have traveled through each of the "kids" at shows. Her more recent offspring are Locust-Ayr Kidrock Hershey (Riley's calf last year), and Locust-Ayr Victorious Hot Sauce leased by Maddy Mathias. Both October-born animals have competed very well in their respected arenas! We're excited to welcome two more calves from this gene-pool to next year's showring.

🐃 Brothers Three DLX Wiley-ETV, winter yearling. First-ever Brown Swiss at Locust-Ayr Farm (whoo hoo!), and pregnant to sexed Design. Much of her show pedigree can be seen in past postings. Purchased privately from Josh and Casey Hushon, we're excited to see what's in store for her future.

Thanks for allowing me to boast on these ladies.
