"Unto Us a Calf is Born"...

By: Amy of Cottonwood Creek Dairy

On a chilly night of Dec. 18th, the newest member of our herd was born. Buenie,
as we've named her, is a Jersey heifer and will grow up to join our herd as a
milk cow. Buenie's mom, Annabelle, joined us from a farm in New Mexico and Buenie is her first calf. Because the night was so cold and Buenie was slow to get moving, she spent her first night by the heater in David's kitchen. Her belly is now full of warm, nutritious colostrum and we are helping her learn how to get her legs under her. Soon Buenie will be joining the other little ones outside and our cow share members will be enjoying the bounty of Annabelle's milk.
