The Two Annabelles

I remember when we brought home Chloe and her baby. The first order of business was to name the sweet little doeling. Considering her registered name was Liberty Star Acres Annabelle, it probably seems like Annabelle would have been the obvious choice. But we already had an Annabelle-a beautiful, extremely rare American Milking Devon calf. So our little doeling became “Dolly”.

This year our two Annabelles coordinated their efforts and both presented us with babies on Sunday, just hours apart. Annabelle the cow delivered a healthy, friendly heifer calf and Annabelle the goat (Dolly) delivered bouncing twin bucklings.

It was truly a Sunday filled with blessings of the sweetest kind!
