"India Pearl" We just call her "Indi" and her 2007 heifer calf "Fawn Pearl".
This is "Indi". We bought her from Liar's Lake in Sparta, Missouri. She is halter broke and loves to be brushed and scratched on her itchy spots. She will lead and backs when asked.
This is "Storm Cloud". She is our grey Brahma cow.
We will probably add a couple more Brahma cows to the herd someday.
