I can haz cute now?

Had a terrific trip to upstate New York yesterday to tour Ronnybrook Farm and nearby Coach Farm.

I'll get into the dairy details and post some tasty video soon enough, but I wanted to get to the cream first: all the squishably adorable baby animals.

Behold, my friends... the cute.


A charming Jersey calf at Ronnybook Farm. Check out that little black tongue.

O hai... a wee little kid at Coach Farm.


A slightly older, cock-headed goat at Coach Farm.


Yet another charming Alpine goat at Coach Farm.

Yours in love of cuteness,
