The Shuffle

Bambino and ElDuque came back from their summer vacation at the neighbors house last week. They are very well behaved!

Today we moved them to another pasture with the big herd and brought Cocoa and Red Clover up to the house. Bugs, Cocoa and Red Clover are going to move to Nebraska this month!

The Herd in all it's glory

I have had some requests for pictures of the parents of all our little guys so, I thought I would put everyone on here...
