TWIN GIRLS!!๐ฎ๐ฎ Meet Maple and Syrup. Mike was delighted to see that one of our two bred heifers (Pinetar) not only had one cleaned-up, full-tummied calf this morning, but TWO!๐ฑ
Pinetar took really good care of her new babies…๐๐ผ

This is our first set of successful twins here, so we are pretty excited!๐ค
Back in 2010 we had a cow named Amy who had one live calf and one deceased calf. (It was before blogging days, so I don’t have a link to share.) But click here to read about Peekaboo – half of another set of twins we had back in 2012.
Mike and Paul were able to get halters on Maple and Syrup pretty easily.๐๐ผ
Maple was not as cooperative with walking as Syrup was… The boys took turns carrying her all around Mordor. (At least these girls were smaller than Rose was yesterday, lol!๐)
Paul carried her first…
Then Pinetar led us through downed trees/scratching posts…๐๐ฌ
Next it was Michael’s turn to carry Maple…
And finally, we all made it through the gate and into the runway to the barn.๐๐ผ
Syrup walked the whole way down with her mama, and I drove Michael and Maple down in the chariot…๐
Whew. What a morning! Thank You, Lord!โค
Tally now 3 girls, 0 boys, and 8 more to go…WE THINK!๐๐๐ผ
Praise HIS NAME! Twins and of same sex! Oh Father thank you for hearing all our prayers! And sorry Michael…but you are just as cute as Maple! Hmmm I know! A HOT cutie! You have such handsome sons and their parenting shows! Blessings to all of you! โค
