Alley is growing up quickly!  The rest of the herd greets her through the fence although I hear she still is not big enough to go into the "big field".  I caught her sniffing noses with her grandmother through the fence yesterday...it was quite a sight to see three generations of females together!  All of the cows here did well in the show ring in their day but it is interesting to see the traits that pass down from generation to generation.  My favorite part is that the girls look like girls and the boys look like boys because otherwise it wouldn't be that easy for me to tell them apart!  Not all miniature hereford breeders focus on that trait but its important here....
