Chunk has been looking particularly chunky recently

Last photo might be able to show her size. She's on the left (duh), Pants is in the middle (Pants is a damn small cow though), and a more normal sized cow (who is a year older than Chunk) is to the right.

Mel gave birth to this heifer calf a few days ago! Both are doing well. I think I'll name the baby Ellie.

I'll name any of Mel's calves names with an "el" in them. Mel's daughter last year got the name Shelby. If she has a bull calf in future he's getting the name Melvin.

You can see that her eyes are a bit of a light colour, similar to Mel's. That's unusual, cattle generally have eyes that are super dark unless you look up close. I don't think they'll stay that colour as she grows, but we'll see.

Daffodil today. She's after growing a lot the past few months.

Two random things:

1 - Her nose is shaped a bit funny. It's like her nostrils are a bit bigger in proportion to the nose than they are in other cattle.

2 - She has a small white line in her eye ever since she got pinkeye last year. Visible in last photo. That's a bit unusual, usually if cattle keep a mark from that it's a small circle.
