Tina and Timothy
Tina and Timothy are twin calves. They are both very tiny, that is why I named them like so. Timothy’s getting bigger though. He is bigger than Tina and still is tiny, so that makes Tina very tiny. Tina in fact, is so tiny, that I can pick her up and run around with her like she is a cat. Tina and Timothy are a dark chocolate brown and Tina has a little white marking on her head. Timothy’s nickname is Timmy.
Tina and Timmy’s mother was a heifer, and she does not have enough milk for her two calves. We put other cows in the head-gate so then they can suck from them. Now that they get a lot of milk from other cows, Timothy and Tina are getting bigger and plumper. Timothy is too heavy to lift up now, but Tina is still pretty simple to lift.
I love Tina and Timothy sooo much, but come this October, as usual, mom and dad will sell all of the calves to the feedlot and then in one year the will get butchered and sold to local stores for hamburger and stuff. So, I guess I ought to spend good time with them while I can.
