We have been waiting for our milk cow Brownie to freshen for over 6 weeks. For those of you who don't know, freshen means have a baby calf and we were waiting so we could drink the milk. :) She finally did so on Sunday, most conveniently when we were all at church.
Trina milks Brownie and made sure she was all taken care of and comfortable.
In the mean time, Dad and Benjamin made sure the calf got a good meal in its belly. Sometimes at the beginning this is a two person job.
But eventually the little kids will be able to feed the calf by themselves.
Benjamin carried the calf to the front yard where it took up temporary residence while it gets its feet under it.
Contrary to what this picture looks like, John is not in fact afraid of the calf. He was just showing me his amazing climbing skills and the calf wanted to check them out.
Thank you, Lord for the blessing of a healthy calf and all the milk we can drink!
