It takes a village to bring up a child

And it takes two cows to bring up two calves.  I often see Beattie licking and cleaning Lexy and Lucy (less often) looking after Bella.  When they were tiny one mother would stand guard over the two calves whilst the other had a few minutes “time out”.  It was like this last year when they gave birth to Larry and Barney.  Beattie is definitely the more maternal of the two cows and she cares for Lexy as if she were her very own.

One thought on “It takes a village to bring up a child

  1. One mother can look after eight children, but eight children can’t look after one mother (one mother can be very demanding)
