I have to admit, I’m an exclamation point person. There is no exclamation point in the title. We have so wished for a heifer calf, but he had other plans.

He had no teeth and his eyes were not fully developed, and he could barely walk and certainly could not nurse by himself. For over a week I would tie … Continue reading
