Special Edition.
Here are a few photographs of Talia for you as promised. And yes with all the changes and the Last Dinner for Kevin and Victoria things were pretty stretched today. So I am a little later than I had anticipated.
Teensy Talia is inquisitive, hungry and already making herself at home. Aunty is confused, feeling a bit wonky but lining up for milking with Lady. Aunty stood perfectly for both milkings yesterday – her udder is still very small – she gave only half a gallon each time but never once lifted her leg or even looked like being uncomfortable in the milking shed. I am sure her production will increase with time. 
In fact her udder is so small that baby goes looking for it and ends up walking straight under her mother and coming out the other side not terribly sure of what just happened.
Wonderful.
Talk to you tomorrow!

So pleased to see this post this morning. Talia looks to be a carbon copy of Aunty Del 🙂 Laura
Wonderful photos. Talia is lovely. Nice to see a new heifer addition.
Just beautiful! And just what we needed over here in the midst of the nonstop news. A reminder that life just goes on.
Talia is gorgeous! So tiny. Hope all goes well with mommy and baby. I so look forward to your updates.
She looks a bit like a deer 🙂
I’m so, so happy to see such wonderful photos, and have assurance that things are going well. I can’t say I’ve ever worried over a cow and calf before, but we all need new experiences. 🙂
She is such a beautiful little calf and Auntie Del is so sweet. Such a beautiful pair they look very healthy too with shiny coats and bright eyes.
I believe we are all very much in love with little Talia – she’s gorgeous, just like her mother. I absolutely love the top photo of Aunty gazing at her new one!! ; o )
Yes we are all falling in love with little Talia. She is as beautiful as her name. Just so happy with all the stress everything has worked out so well. You have to be so very proud of all you have accomplished.
Talia is absolutely beautiful. I could look at pictures of those two lovely ladies all day long. So glad she’s doing well.
Wonderful photos of your new arrival.
What a cutie! I do believe she is going to make it!

She’s so beautiful. Aunty must be thinking “I can’t have done this, can I?” I hope the udder is located quickly, it’s no fun being confused about where the food is when you’re hungry.
