Here is one of the sweet little baby girls we have.
This heifer was waiting for her food and I couldn't resist taking her picture first.

New Babies!!!

Guess what Hope and I saw when we went out to the pasture this morning!?! Two more brand new little calves! We saw one yesterday and here the other two showed up today! Ol' Notch ear below had to have had her's in the early morning hours this morning as he is all cleaned up and running around and she hadn't had him at 8:30pm last night and wasn't showing signs then either!
Here they are again from the other angle. Notch & Baby. Isn't he cute? He's the heftiest of the bunch and also the only boy.
Below is #2 with her baby girl calf that she had as we were pulling into the pasture this morning! I knew something was up, by the way she was standing there, but Hope and I had to fill the water tank and feed the calves before we could drive out there. By the time we finished that and drove out to her, she was licking her calf and baby was nursing! This calf is the only one with white markings on it's face. The other 2 are completely black.
You can tell how new a calf it is!
Smart little calf went right to nursing!
Here is C592 and Notch with their babies. All the babies were born within a day of each other. The one on the left had hers yesterday early morning and Notch was early this morning!
And though it's hard to see them all, I managed to capture all the mommas and their babies that we have!
Obviously this little brown guy isn't very new! We actually bought him & his mom when he was a new calf back in June, so that makes him 3 mo's old now! He looks cuddly I think. But he's not very tame. This is the closest I have ever gotten to him, and he bolted as soon as I took the picture!
