This sassy but soft hearted many time mama is Matilda!

Matilda is one of our elder ladies.

Her likeness is featured on one of our most popular shirts.

Matilda is not only an amazing mom to our Starchild, but when Harvey's mama passed, she immediately rose to the occasion and adopted sweet Harvey as her own. 

Cows normally don't let other calves nurse on them. They instantly know that it's not their baby, and they'll kick them out of the way. Starchild and Harvey have been best friends since birth (they're only one day apart!) and we think Matilda could sense it. She lets both Harvey and Starchild nurse on her at the same time, and she lovingly watches over both of them all day long.

Her hooves may full looking after two (now grown) babies, but she is such a loving, sweet girl we don't think she minds too much.
