Well, I had settled myself on the deck with a good book and lap blanket to help keep warm but Girl spotted me and being a very bad cow, broke the gate to get out to come say hi.. so walked her back, and then of course ended up spending some time with her, we had Marty out for some fresh air and sunshine, he just got to play..
Girl got groomed, lifted and cleaned each foot, worked on woo and stands, layed across her back in a stand, and other basic ground work done.. She is a baby no more.. She is cow, here me bellow these days..
On the other hand, Marty who is coming on five months is still very much a baby boy, he is also a little on the slow side, he is not the brightest bulb in the pack if you get my drift LOL Given that he came from the same herd, and is the same mix of breeds, and has been raised in the same way, I am always so surprised to see such a difference in temperment between the two of them.
Just another Day on the Farm 
Aren’t animals the best 😉 🙂 Your “Marty” reminds me of my dog, Rosie…not the brightest bulb in the bunch…but we love her lots and lots 😉 🙂 Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather 🙂
Lovely 🙂
Straight lines, nice stance, beautiful bovine! It’s truly amazing how love and attention brings out personality in animals.
Sigh…cow envy. I’ve got it.
Also, wasn’t Marty originally called Smarty?? lol
As a boy, I resent that comment!
Maybe he is like all boys everywhere, thy do not do good in school until they hit age 12-13 or so, then off to the races? Just a thought wonder if he will still be dumb later on or grow up and smarten up?
Hi Wilderness, If it counts for anything, if you read long enough, you will see me post and have posted that some of my girls are not the “brightest” in the herd, some animals are just smarter then others in their same herds or flocks, that is why we have lead animals and second in commands as well as the followers in the different groups. Sorry if it came across as a sex thing on this post, but I would never say that about my ram, he is a awesome smart dude, who does his job perfectly. Angelo is a another good case, he was unsure of himself when he arrived and took some time to settle in but a very smart boy indeed.
I don’t think his temperment is going to change, he is who he is, and I work with him in a way that suits it, just as I do with all my critters, as I intend to freezer camp him as a young yearling, he won’t get the chance to grow up and prove me wrong.
