Nice photos Janet!!!! What relief. I look forward to being where you're at soon, settled in to milk all winter, routine, expected, most of the unknowns behind me for a while.

Any names for your bundle of joy?????

Wow, that's hard. I love them both--like saying them both. Although, try the shortened version of both, Toe/Toe-p, Tuck. Tuck might work great for the antics of a bull/steer:)

I know he "tuckered" me out waiting that extra week. Checking, running back and forth. So all in all, fitting. They are resting now. I will try milking Sienna out later this afternoon. Tucker has latched onto the teats more than once. Not sure how much he has taken in but like Ron says, if it's a bull, it's nursing. So… Okay, now it's Fanci and Eliza Belle next.

Congrats! Tucker is so cute! What a goregous baby boy! Same thing I said to MaryJane, sorry I missed it.😀
