Tuesday Field Surprise

Its always nice getting an early morning phone call saying " One of your cows had a calf this  morning."

Its even better to go and try to find it in the large grassy field.

With the severe thunderstorms we got yesterday evening the barometer dropped and so did this big 100 lb heifer calf.


Gracie was still cleaning the calf off when I arrived.


A proud mom, a full udder and a healthy calf.

She is still trying to figure out how to use her long legs to stand up.



Name suggestions ?

Prefer a " G " name.

Gracie's 2012 calf was named " Glennie."  Some off you have been following her antics this past winter.

More photos tomorrow!

  7. This little calf was born to Gracie during severe weather so she has to be "Gale" surely?
