First Cute Calf of 2025 🎬 [Video]

Meet the 1^st calf of 2025 - sweet baby Raspberry-Ember!

Hyphenated cow names are what happen when you have three small Farmhands vying to choose the first name of the year.

Farmhand Grace names everything after food and can’t be talked out of it.

Luckily, Farmhands Eli and Vera agree on Ember – I can’t handle any more multi-hyphen names around here.

(After Grace insisted I call her Waffle-Purrs-Kitty for several weeks, I put my foot down.) LOL 😄

Obviously, we all think calving time is pretty special around here - we look forward to it with anticipation every year.

In fact, last time someone asked Farmer Martin what his favorite part of farming was, he didn’t even hesitate in declaring, “baby calves!”  Awwwww. 💖

Now, it’s exciting for us when the first calf arrives.

But it’s pretty boring for the lonely little one-and-only until the next calf comes along.

I caught a video of Raspberry-Ember doing her utmost to make a dried up old dock plant play with her.

She was making the best of it, too, until Momma Cow Louise noticed I was there and stomped over to defend her baby.

What a helicopter mom.

Good protective instincts, but she spoiled playtime and made Raspberry-Ember run off to hide in the tall grass until I left.

Oh, Louise…you make it so hard to enjoy watching your little sweetie.
