#50 Pente And Boggle

angus cow with newborn calfPente was actually the first of our three escapee mothers to return to the herd even though we believe she was the last one to deliver. The day after we moved the herd, she was waiting at the gate with her new baby by her side as if it was us who had forgotten to include her in the move.

When we opened the gate, Pente and her son calmly moved through the run through the hayfield with Pente stopping to chomp a bit as she walked.

angus cow with newbornWhen we opened the gate to let the pair out where they could join the rest of the herd, Pente and Phil strode across the way to the hillside where they moved uphill away from all the busyness of the bigger calves and bossy mothers. This pair spent the rest of the day hidden in the tall timber while Phil and Pente had a little more bonding time.

Welcome to the farm Phil who we believe was born late in the day on 5/24/2019 and weighed approximately 55 lbs at birth. His sire is Night Prowler.
