This is a photo of the Brooke children and their paternal grandmother standing next to their calves. Their grandmother, Manie Brooke leads the line on the right. Next to Manie is Arthur Brooke standing next to his calf. Following Arthur is his sister Daphne who is holding on to the reign of her calf. Finally, on the far left is Elizabeth Brooke (in grade 5) with her arm wrapped around the neck of Princess Fern (her calf). This photo is believed to be taken in May or June of 1957c.<\/p>\r\n
According to Elizabeth Brooke, on the day that this photo was taken her Grandmother came for a visit. She and her siblings took this opportunity to show off their 4-H calves their grandmother. 4-H is a rural club for kids. These 4-H calves were dairy calves trained on the halter, and trained to be showed off at the fair. Before it was a dairy farm, it was a berry farm.<\/p>\r\n
