Cash to the Rescue at 4 Months!!
During the February snow storm, one of Hardy Edwards' prize Hereford cows gave birth to twin bull calfs. She could only manage to care for one in 5 inches of snow. So Hardy brought the calf, which was having difficulty breathing, up to the house.
According to Hardy, "Cash brought Super Peanut back to life shortly after birth by licking him from head to toe. The twins were born the Thursday morning with 5 inches of snow and ice and the mama cow just couldn't deal with it all. The legend of Cash begins!"
Pictured: Cash, Little Hardy Edwards and Super Peanut the newly born bull calf.
Scottie, Solaras Scotland Yard at Kensington, is a new champion at just 8 months!
Huge congratulations to Lisa Waldo and Lenny Brown on this great accomplishment!
Jazz ( a Reagan and Angus puppy) Graduates from Puppy Manners Class! How Cute is that! Notice only the Border Collie gets to wear the mortar board!
