The latest twins have arrived at the Browning Pike farm just outside Columbia in the Greater Bliss Community.

They are now two weeks old and on the prowl in the back yard waiting for Miss Gertrude, Granny to them, to serve up a tasty snack.




June Bug was born first and was left by his mother in one part of the field and when John Boy arrived she didn't know about having two babies.

When we got to the barn she would have nothing to do with poor June Bug.

He has had to tag onto another cow for a momma but still gets four bottles a day from Granny Gertrude or me.

It is about time for the midnight feeding so I must run or they will be over at Walmart ordering up a gallon from the dairy section. Tonight is their first night out of the barn so hope they behave. - Vicky Pike

The twins, John Boy, left, and June Bug, on their first night out of the barn. As I write this, it is about time for the midnight feeding so I must run or they will be over at Walmart ordering up a gallon from the dairy section. I hope they will behave. Vicky Browning Pike
