Peek-a-boo Arrives

Meet Peek-a-boo, the Shorthorn Heifer.  In this photo, she was only 9 months old.  The Shorthorn is mainly a beef cow,  however there are milking shorthorns.  Originally the breed was developed to be a dual purpose breed, meaning the cow would be good for milking and beef (read more on Shorthorn here).

Peek-a-boo was born during on of the February 2010 snowstorms.  The farmer covered her in hay to try and keep her warm and she kept peeking out of the hay, thus she was named Peek-a-boo.
