Video of Mara with newborn Annabeth 2 hours after she was born

Early Thursday morning, Amethyst gave birth to her first calf.  Luckily the farmers had moved her from the heifer barn to the dairy barn a week early so that she could get used to the space in preparation for moving there after giving birth to her first calf.




Later, after Mara took care of the newborn, the class voted on names for the calf.  Although the top pick was Audrey (after Mrs. Jackson), the records showed that another cow once had that name on the farm years ago.  For farmers' records, it's important to never have two cows with the same name so that there is no confusion about the cow's history.  As a result, the second place name, Annabeth was granted to the super cute baby.
