Six weeks on, Cassia’s quads have healthy appetites and like to wait for dinner (lait en bouteille, servi chaud) in comfort. Two bucks on the left (Redbud aka Buddy, and Badger Boy); two does on the right (Anemone aka Me-Me and Jonquil aka Quilla).

Apt and lovely names!
The “kids” wait so politely, or is it the speedy camera shutter??
They’d dozed off…usually they are too speedy to catch on camera!
AWWWWW :-))) They do know how pose. Someone told me that in order to
not get caught in fencing or shrubbery bucks have their horns burned off as soon
as they appear??? Your opinion please :-)

Glad to see those little horns on them. We are getting away from disbudding too. They are meant to ahve horns!
Cute little youngsters ! They seem to have excellent adoptive parents :-) !
About the horns : here in Europe, a large part of the cattle is dehorned, just for economical reasons and for the confort of farmers farm workers and breeders. I find this a barbaric practice.
Mr. Haskell — Love the blog and loved The Forest Unseen. It may be a bit of an odd question, but could I trouble you for a hand lens recommendation?
Thank you, Dan. The hand lens that I use is: http://www.opticsplanet.com/bausch-lomb-pocket-two-lens-magnifier.html
…it does not have super-fancy optics and so is affordable. I find it works really well.
For more expensive lenses (that tend to be higher power and harder to use) see: http://www.minerox.com/category-s/1913.htm
Much appreciated! Looking forward to poking about the back yard unseen this summer ;)
