When we breed our cattle, we do so to get what we think it the best possible genetics. One of my favorite traits is chrome(white) faces on our cattle. Mr. M not so crazy about it. We have never had any calves with chrome until 2 years ago. We wait 9 months for these little cuties to arrive. And it's the most exciting part of my year, other than watching the babes show.
Sometimes you get some that are a little hard to tell apart. And this is the case with two heifers we have this year. They have the same daddy-Nuggent. And different mommas. They are referred to as the twins. Can you tell them apart?

| Easter... |

| Kittitas |
 |
| Easters momma, Canute |
 |
| And daddy to both-Nuggent |
The funny thing is Kittitas has a white mark like a scar off her left eye just like Nuggent. They are both going to be great cows for us. They are sound, soggy and have great pedigrees. I can't wait to see what their future holds.

| Easter has a sweet disposition like her momma. Her and our barn cat are best buds. She keeps him warm.. |
