The Jersey cows are finally here!

It is a month and a half since we bought the Jersey cows, we have been waiting all this time for some paperwork to come (it was applied for by the previous owners - there seemed to be various technical hitches, hate to think what would have happened if we had been trying to do it) so they could be delivered.
Finally they arrived today. In a van hired from Super-U (a supermarket!)
We have decided to call them Buttercup (the mother - with no horns) and Bluebell (the daughter - with horns). They seem quite calm and have settled in well. We have put them in the field where the highlands were and moved the highlands in to a little field next door so they can all get to know each other.
We are super excited as Buttercup is still in milk and we got a tiny little squirt out of her and tasted it! We are planning on trying to get a bit more tomorrow after buying a head collar - updates on how that goes soon!
