Sweetheart the Dairy Calf

If Paige has any say in the matter, we'll have all of the calves at the calf barn named to her liking in no time.  All of them DO have names but Dominic is the one who normally names them for their paper work........although, I don't think he comes up with names such as 'Sweetheart'.














It wasn't long before we had Sweetheart out of her pen to play with.



















Two week old Sweetheart definitely developed a fondness for Paige.  She searched her out and licked any part of her she could get a hold of.


















"Oh that tickles!!"  says Paige.


















During the time we were playing with Sweetheart, we had Barina tied for some more halter training.  Sweetheart snagged some of Barina's water while she was running around, Barina didn't mind a bit:)














I love to hear from you! Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to leave a comment, you can click on the “Post a Comment” link below to do {this only works if viewing through a reader}.

    what a cute post, that little girl loves the babies I think. she has more interest in them then her brother i think
    my kids are farmers here in Florida and have a boy and a girl, the little girl is interested in all farming things and the boy like electronic things.

    @ellie, you are SO right. Paige loves, loves, LOVES the calves and Bryce is more of my little 'techie'. Paige will be running the farm before we know it:) Sounds as though your kids are the same! Thank you!

    @A Ranchers Wife, the calves are anywhere from 70-100 pounds and yes, they are strong:)

    We are thinking along the same lines! I posted about my girls learning to bottle feed a calf tonight and what they named him. Paige is a cowgirl and those pink boots are adorable. I just want to give her hugs.

    That is the cutest thing ever! I honestly keep thinking how lucky your children are to be able to grow up somewhere where they can form such wonderful bonds with animals. :)
