This post is for anyone who hasn't seen us recently or gotten an animal update. Above is Zip, or Zipper, our almost year old heifer. She's an angus.
Her buddy, Button. He doesn't have an abbreviation. =p We like to name our calves by themes, and this year we did it with clothes holding objects. We've also done the hobbits, Joseph's brothers, Naomi's sons, comic strip characters, etc. etc. We get creative.
Honey is our lovely, active, silly golden retriever. She is 10 years old this spring.
Some of the chickens. We gave up naming all of them.
Our four surviving sheep, Toasty, Heidi, Muffin, and Heather. We've had coyote trouble recently, as well as decreased pastures, so we cut back on the sheep. Now we're looking forward to lambing season with in the next few months. =D
Our milk cow, Cinnamon, and her grafted calf, Vel(cro).
Zip's mom, Angie. She's really just a big baby, and fat as a butterball.
And finally, our goldfish. Yes, we name them, too. I can't tell you what these ones are, but somewhere to the right is an old white fish. His name is Gandalf. =p
