Good morning one and all! It was a delightful day yesterday. Our first warm spring day with no wind and warm temps. I ventured out to take some pictures of the baby calves. They already seem quite big. And they are loving the sunshine.
Caught him by surprise! I'm looking out the barn door and he's over by a tin partition outside
The mothers do not like strangers anywhere near them or their baby, so my DH took a pail
of corn to the mothers so I could take these pictures. The black ones are about 10 days old
It's fun to watch them run and play. Sometimes we have the more inquisitive ones come under the fence and venture up to the yard and house area. It's surprising to see them look in the window! And a job to get them back where they belong.
This poor mother, she had twins and only this little one survived. We had to call the Vet for help. This was about 7 days ago. And she really didn't like me peering about. She is the only brown cow we have.
Tried for some photos of the barn cats but they aren't real friendly to strangers either. Hiding in the bales of straw was more fun for them. Early AM they sit in the barn door watching for my DH. When he goes out, they meet him by this light pole and follow him to the barn to be fed. They definitely are not as tame as the visiting white cat we had a few weeks ago. She's doing well at her new home.
Thanks for stopping by, must get some creative projects done, have lots of birthdays this month and with the thunder, lightening and rain it will be a good day to be inside.
Enjoy your day.

Its still windy here but warms up in the afternon! How lucky you are to live on a farm! I lived with my brother for awhile when I was young and he had a farm and I loved it! Hard work, but I loved it!
What beautiful photos of your gorgeous calves. I love the big eyes that calves have. Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,

Wonderful photo's Sylvia!!! Remind me so much of my childhood days! We finally have Spring, too! YAY for BOTH of us!!
What great photos of your farm animals. We have had three warm sunny days in a row and I've nearly killed myself with outdoor projects! It's a love hate relationship at this point. I love Spring, I hate Spring! Hehehe...
Hi Sylvia, the calves are so pretty but that mother cow looks ready to charge you if you get any nearer her precious baby. Here in Scotland it's lambing time but it seems as though they are very late in being born this year ... we have had a freezing few months which could be the reason why. I can only hope it warms up soon and we need some rain - we've had none for weeks. Anyway, thanks for sharing your adorable calves. Elizabeth xx
Adorable! Sometimes I wish I lived on a piece of land so I could have goats. I don't know what it is about those guys but I love them!!!
Poor mama cow. She looks like she's a great mother to her baby.
