1st calf of the year!!!

 Born on January 2nd, healthy and tired.

Traditionally the first-born calf of the year has been a symbolic phenomenon of promising new life flourishing on the farm for the year to come.  This little girl was born on January 2nd to a mother who miscarried last year. I have named her Jana, after the ancient new year Roman goddess of the moon, fertility and wise women healers. Jeff simply calls her Number 22 after her mother, Number 33.
