[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1318252, member: 22072"] We had a dwarf once. At birth she was tiny, just like yours. There is a difference between tiny full term and tiny preemie. I have pictures, but not at this moment. This is how she played out. Kids loved her. They named her Midnight. As time went on, she stayed very very small. No point in selling at sale barn and we didnt need a 'pet' cow, we gave her to some friends who wanted just a pet. Her body did grow to a large size, but still small, her legs stayed somewhat short. Not really a strange dwarf looking short, but short. They had her for years. One day, they looked out and there was a calf with her. Apparently she got with the neighbors bull and had a normal calf. We were all shocked she could carry a calf due to her size. After that i dont know what happened to her. Kids graduated school and we never were around them at school functions(the only time we are around people). If i can round up some pictures i'll post one, i may can even contact the people we gave her to, maybe they have pictures of her with her calf.. [/QUOTE]
