Sisters

I took a walk into the pasture today to check on the three girls that are due to calve soon.
And I found these two jewels napping in the warm autumn sun:

 
Kirkhaven Blue Autumn Skies
Kirkhaven October Joy!
Sisters.
Born 8 days apart.
 
 
So I sauntered over, sat down between them, and started snapping photos of absolute adorableness.
 
 
First, Autumn . . . the older of the two.
I have waited a loooooon time to FINALLY get a little dun heifer out of Reuben.
And she is a beaut!

 
 
 
And then Joy . . . our red, polled bundle of energy.
She is such an independent little thing!
And she's really QUITE sassy.
 
 

 
 
I really have so many other things I should be doing.
But sitting in the pasture with my two new heifer calves was just too tempting to pass up!
They love the attention.
 Lots of neck scratches.
 Lots of face rubs.
 Really . . . it doesn't get any better than this!
 
So here are a few more pics. Then I HAVE to get back to work!!
 
Autumn . . . with her beautiful, light eyes.

Joy . . . with that familiar sassy face.


 Awwwwwwwwww . . .
