Farmer Can’t Believe How Tiny Her Highland Cow’s New Calf Is
A farmer at Tesch Hillside Ranch was checking on things when she spotted something she didn’t expect to see, and he wasn’t only adorable but also incredibly tiny. She knew one of her Highland cows, Ellie Mae, was expecting, but she didn’t realize the first-time mom had delivered until she found them together in the pasture. In a previous video, you could hear her shock over how small he was, but in this one, we get to see for ourselves.
The baby boy, whom they’ve since aptly named Nugget, is very interested in his human mom and walks over for some affection. That’s when she points out that his head is only the size of her hand. It’s clear she can’t believe how tiny the little guy is, and neither can we!
We wish that we could go visit Nugget for a snuggle session! He’s doing great, and he’s already got a ton of new internet friends who can’t wait to watch him grow up… us included!
