Calves

I admit it. I love calving time. It’s like a birthday that lasts for 75 days. Sometimes it makes you feel really old and tired, but most of the time it’s like opening new packages every day. The question is, will you get a vacuum cleaner or that new camera you’ve been wanting? You never know if your party will take place in sunshine or snow. Will this be a birthday that makes you cry or has you laughing? Every day is different during calving season and I will miss it when it’s over.

The interesting face, black eyes, and a charolais!
A red calf! One with a black and white nose!
Milk – it helps you grow and it’s good for your complexion!
Come on! Let’s run! So much energy!
After they are done playing tag it’s time to stop at a friends house for lunch!
You have to adjust when Mom wants to take a nap and you want a snack!
Mom and that guy on the 4 wheeler will never find me if I’m really quiet. Especially since I crawled through the fence!
Look what I can do, Mom!

They are always so entertaining. We are almost done for this year. In the next couple of weeks we will get the pairs worked and turned out on summer pasture. I’ll miss the excitement.

But in just 9 and 1/2 months, we start it all over again.

Until next time.

Don’t forget to shut the gate!
