It was a two hour labour. Liz was there taking photos. Our crofter friends Bill & Sukie did some tugging. Then Dee-Dee's calf came into a snowy world.
She's a girl so she'll stick around longer than previous boys.
Now she needs a name, especially after research which showed named cows give more milk than un-named cows. Anony-moos cows, you might say.
Her name has to start with the letter "D". Suggestions will be passed on to Mum.

As there are quite a few Viking place names in your surroundings, how about a Norwegian cow name? The currently and traditionally most popular one (a true fact!) is "Dagros".
'Medium Rare'.

Deshera - taken from Goddess Hera, who according to Greek Mythology spilt her breast milk after refusing to feed Hercules, resulting in the Milky Way!
From Wikipedia: "One account of the origin of the Milky Way is that Zeus had tricked Hera into nursing the infant Heracles: discovering who he was, she pulled him from her breast, and a spurt of her milk formed the smear across the sky that can be seen to this day."
Surely it has to be 'Daisy'.
