It’s calving season!!!!!! I know you just love watching those little buggers run and jump in the fields as much as I do! They are so sweet! I want to cuddle them….but, dang it, they don’t really like that…cause I kinda tried…and their Mom’s really don’t like it either…and they kind of scare me…

Went to Mom and Dad’s a few weeks ago…and got to play with a lot of the little Cutie Pies. It was gorgeous weather, and we soaked up as much as we could, but didn’t have much time. Kodee being in school is getting in the way of the things I want to do, dang it…I wanted to stay a few days, but once you start that kind of behavior, I hear, it’s difficult to stop.

This is the Labor and Delivery Unit….or the Cow Palace…call it what you want…it is pretty cool in there…

The calf above was born the Saturday night that we were there…so he was probably only about 5 hours or so old in that pic…sorry, it is really difficult to get very good pictures in there! There was another calf who needed some attention and help getting around as she had been stepped on by her Mom. The white on the calf’s leg is a huge cast…huge for such a little calf.

The field down below Labor and Delivery, is what I will call the Maternity Ward. All the Mommas and babies hang out there for a while till everyone gets “their legs under them” ha…literally. Actually they get their legs under them before they leave L&D (labor and delivery). So, down the hill they start to learn about life…like who they should chew on….

and who to cuddle with…

I love how you can see their breath in the air! These aren’t the best pics, but I do like their cold breath!

That little guy is absolutely handsome! Isn’t he just pretty? Thing is, he looks like he knows it. Typical.

Another shot of the Maternity Ward…

And L&D with the sun in the totally wrong place! I know…sorry…

Another reason I love Montana so much….little black calves…and their protective Mommies!
