An Angus Calf Arrives, and There’s a Problem!

Thanks to our herd guru, seasoned farmer Rodney Hardy, Magnalia’s herd is growing!

Our black Angus cow named Scottie or Scheffler (named after the golfer for assorted reasons) birthed a spunky calf named Naomi a couple years ago, not long after she first came to our farm. This past week, after a visit to Rodney’s bull named Rantz about 9 months ago, Scheffler birthed another calf.

Naomi has been away for the month, also getting to know Rantz. She’ll return next week or so with a calf growing inside her, as well. She’ll join our Jersey cow named Rosie, who is also pregnant due to relations with Rantz.

Our farm is getting a reputation.

In any case, the new scenes in pasture with “Mama Scheff” (as we call her) nursing another calf, with Davie the Donkey on guard, always nearby — and usually standing between visitors and the calf – have been priceless. Come see for yourself!

But we have a problem: what do we call her?

Please help. Your name suggestions will be collected through the weekend, and then we’ll announce a winner (with Eddie as the final judge).
