So Larry is the offical name of my steer calf. I been waiting on a buddy for him but as the calves keep coming they are all girls so I decided to get a girl just so he has a buddy. Hopefully another boy will come for us as well. I picked up Izzy today, it is Larry's relation. Their moms are related and they should have the same dad, but apparently the neighbor bull had a one night stand last year. Thus Izzy is half watusi and half beef. Izzy will be kept for a pet then in a few years go back to my aunts to get bred to a watusi for a 3/4 calf. Izzy isnt going to get horns as she appears to have more of the beef in her.

Here is Larry and Izzy in the barn tonight as it supposed to storm. I need to get their bigger pen built so they have more room when they have to be in the barn. When its nice out they are in a pen in the back yard until they get a bit bigger to go to their pasture. Izzy is used to other calves where Larry has been the only calf. He sounds like a little sissy. Izzy pushes him around after the bottle like most calves and Larry sounds like he is dieing when she does it. They have seem to settle down tonight tho.

Here is Izzy today waiting for help to get home so I could get her out of the truck and the kennel. So you get an idea of their size she rode home in a large dog kennel and she is about 2 weeks old. You can see the beef look in her head.

TO DIE FOR!!! Oh! I just love animal babies! I love them when they're grown up, too!

They are so darn cute! I love the watusi cross!
 
They are adorable. I think calves are so cute. I have even named a couple in a pasture we go past on the way to town.
