A rare wee beauty

This little calf belongs to one of the UK's rarest breeds of cattle.The breed is currently listed as 'critical' on the Rare Breed Survival Trust list. The white calf with its black nose and black ears was just so cute.

Valentin's Farm in the Dumfries House Estate is home to many rare breeds. The farm is only open on certain days so photographs have to be taken from paths bordering the fields.

It was a beautiful day for a visit to the estate. Gardeners were busy in the Walled Garden preparing the beds for the summer display.
