I was driving up over the moors to show my good friend Bridget from MN the pretty village of Arncliffe in the Yorkshire Dales. I saw this very pretty calf on the side of the road and thought that it would make a nice photograph for my Leeds in Yorkshire photo blog.
I may be wrong but I think this cow and calf are of a breed called Irish Moiled.
I have been moving house this week so I am struggling to post and keep up with my blog because I have yet to be connected at my new place. I told a friend and she said "no phone , no internet, no life" sadly that is almost true.

This is a beauty. Is that the mother behind with the twisted horns? Probably, as she looks a bit concerned that her baby doesn't know about humans yet. Very nice photograph.
ReplyDeleteI am still making history on my Pick a Peck of Pixels blog. Today I posted a Zebra Butterfly with long tails. He is as big as your hand. Most have never seen one. Now you can see one at

How cute! How did we ever get along before the internet?
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute little calf --- with very long back legs! I like the sheep and hay bales in the background; it's so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteThese cows are actually English Longhorns, which do have the red roan coloring, but are not polled (without horns).
ReplyDeleteIrish Moiled Cows are red roan, have NO horns, and are generally more of a lineback.
