Calf

Down the road are some mini-cows (Belted Galloway?) which I've been attempting to get a photo of for a while now, but usually pass by their paddock when it's too dark for a decent shot. This morning however, I managed to grab a couple. This is one of two calves on the property.

    I think they're called Belted Galloways, but am not sure. I'm hoping Helen pops by and fills us in.

    It does doesn't it? Mind you they look like someone's painted them in real life.

    You are correct. They are belted galloways....or as I call them "oreo cows"! I've been trying to find some in my area to shoot (with my camera, of course). I'd also like to find some longhorns.

    Thanks Dianne. They're a cute little cow, somewhat smaller than the more common varieties.

    We don't get the longhorn varieties out here usually. Our most common cows are: Brahman, Hereford, Black Angus, Fresian, Jersey and Limousine. There are others, for sure, but nowhere near as common.

    Cute indeed - and the calves are so small compared to normal cows!
