A New Little Calf

Dottie and her calf Harvey

On Monday, Sept. 12th our little farm was blessed with a little bull 

calf.  We named him Harvey in honor of the Harvest Moon that we had on Monday morning.    Mother and calf are doing well.  We were out on a walk as a family Monday evening and found Dottie just after the calf was born.  It was neat to watch her clean the calf, and the calf's first attempts at standing.  Another calf was born early this morning.  It is a brown/red color with a white face.  We named him Patch because he has a brown circle around one of his eyes.  Two calves born and hopefully 9 more to come over the next few weeks.

This is a picture of my two boys that look most alike, in their twinner shirts.  Isaac has adopted the name Moose because he loves wearing his moose shirt.

We went to the Wayne County Heritage Festival at Mill Springs a few weeks ago.  Here is a picture of the kids with Lake Cumberland behind them.  The festival was fun with old time crafts and singing and Civil War re-enactors.
