Pride 'n Joy

This image is also available in a card.

From the moment a baby cow is born, the mother cow is enveloped in all the joy a new mother could possibly have over the arrival of her new baby. As the little calf grows a bit older, they stick close to Mom as she grazes, enjoying all the new sights and smells of this baby's new life. View additional Holstein artwork by Bonnie Mohr.

A note from Bonnie........I spent several hours out in our pasture, one August morning, just following this mother cow and newborn calf around. Keeping my distance of course, I sat quietly in the meadow grass just enjoying the playfulness of this new baby, and watching her drink milk from her mom for the first time. It's amazing how keen animal instincts are, just moments after they are born. This is the same cow/calf I used for the painting of Mother's Love.
