Calving Update—Then and Now

11/1/2013

2 Comments

 
Bill had a high school district playoff game last night, so it was just us girls—Cricket and I. And, of course, the herd. Since we've had almost three and a half inches of rain in the past couple of days, making our walking route very muddy in places, I decided to take a more leisurely walk. I strapped on my camera, stepped into my gumboots and we set off to do a photo shoot update on our calves. 

Remember our first calf of the fall calving season, Gussie? Here she is. I couldn't get a current picture of #20 and Gussie together. The calves are at that stage where they don't want to hang around Mom except for meals!

Initially, one of our first-calf heifers, Ginger, needed a quick Mothering 101 course. Fortunately, she caught on quickly. Her calf is thriving!

Fogerty, son of Creedence and grandson of Proud Mary, is still quite the little rascal and ringleader of the calf herd.

Fogerty is on the right, blowing raspberries at Calf #62. That was then...

This is Fogerty now, showing us his innocent "Rascal? Who me?" side.

Remember when I said Calf #501 had her mother's eyes? Well, I was wrong. She actually has two black eyes, not one. You can barely see the black ring around her left eye in the "Now" picture.

Remember how skinny Proud Mary was after Tina was born? She is filling out nicely.

Here's Tina, on the left, and one of her friends.

The calves are at the age when they would rather hang with their friends than with their moms.

"Aw, c'mon! How 'bout a little kiss!"

Smoochie, Smoochie!!

Cricket is not impressed!
