The little Galloway Calf looks cute with its curly black and white patterned coat and its jet black curly head. Its perky muzzle is also jet black and shiny. It sniffs around curiously. Who's that coming down the lane? I wonder if it will let me pet it?
The little Galloway Calf looks a bit lost as it stretches its black snout into the air. It can't really be cold, because its thick curls keep it warm out in the pasture all year round. Maybe it is hungry? The little Galloway Calf probably wants to drink some milk. So where is its mother, the Galloway Cow (sold separately)? She can't be far away. Surely she's grazing over there, where the grass look so lush and juicy. Still a little unsteady on its feet, the little calf stumbles over to its mother. It won't be leaving her side anytime soon!
