Our Normandy Steers

We don't have many steers, but here they are: all twelve of them. Well, there are twelve, but the others are further out in the tall grass. They are all different ages and were born on the farm; females enter the milking herd, males become service bulls or steers. Nearly all of them have the circles of color around their eyes that are characteristic of this dual-purpose, high altitude French Normande breed.
