Because there was nothing going on for five minutes. Because Shannon was caught at a weak moment. Because the neighboring rancher had a sick calf, we are now the proud owners of a baby steer.
And because Nickles was the one that went along to pick him up, his name is Uncle. Yep, Uncle. Short for Uncle Dabe, or Uncle Gabe as he is typically known.
On a good note, the chickens are leaving to make room for the cow.
Welcome to our jungle, Uncle!
Sounds more like a "zoo" than a "jungle"... We can't wait to come out and meet your furry new member of the family! :) I hope the kids don't get too attached to him in case Shannon doesn't get his elk meat this year (sorry, maybe that wasn't funny!) By the way, what is Nicholas doing in the second picture??? :)
ReplyDeleteIndeed...but Shannon has always liked the term "jungle" better. Shoulda looked at the pics a bit closer. Nickles was simply looking at the ground, but it certainly doesn't appear that way! Of course, a mother of five sons would notice that ~:o)
