Welcome Xena!

Yesterday marked a major first: First large animal born on the farm! She is a heifer calf and her name is Xena, Warrior Princess. Xena, Warrior Princess is a Hereford, not a Highland, so, as a polled cow amongst horned cattle, she'll have to grow up tough. Seeing the incredible heavy bone on that hour-ish old baby, I'm not too worried.

Here is Xena:

Here is her mama, Sunshine. Sunshine has been an awesome mama so far!

In other news, there are NEW adorable baby bunnies! These are supposed to be lops, like this bunny here:

Daddy is a French Lop and mama is a Mini Lop, both pedigreed. One baby doesn't seem to have gotten the memo about being a lop, however. He gets it in one ear, but not the other. One ear is lopped and the other ear is "Bongo," and that configuration seems to be semi-permanent. Halflop:
