Here They Come
Ladies and Gentlemen, it's that time of year.
Spring is springing, it is raining all the time, and calves are arriving.
Not on our farm, mind you, but my sweet neighbors keep me informed of their new arrivals.
They have a section of pasture dubbed, "The Nursery", and it will soon be full.
This Mom had enough of me trying to sweet talk her into a pose.
Two calves have made their appearance. This high kicker arrived on Friday and the newest one arrived just today. It's mom was determined that I was not to get a photo.

Nothing like talking to your dogs, either...when you're a cityslicker.
ReplyDeleteWe saw a difficult calf birthing once at our State Fair. After much ado it was successfully completed and the huge audience witnessing the event let out a large cheer. Youda thought the Vikingd had won a super bowl. Mostly city folk I'm sure...:)
ReplyDeleteNow that's not something I expected Russell Crowe to say 😀😀 Spring must be the most wonderful time on a farm Michelle, looking forward to seeing more!
ReplyDelete...and change is good.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful and we them here, too, but probably more foal in this area which is, as you know, "The Horse Capitol of the World"! :)
ReplyDeleteYay, for the calves. They are so cute! Enjoy you day!
ReplyDeleteIt is feeling like spring here too but I fear winter isn't finished with us yet!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenes. Yep, it's Spring.
ReplyDeleteAwe, this makes me so excited for calving to start here in our area :)
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful to see the calves. Maybe I'll see some of the cows around here with babies soon too.
ReplyDeleteThey are in all the farming pastures up here, too! Just adorable!
ReplyDeleteNew calves are so full of beans, fun to watch!

ReplyDeleteLiking these springy like pictures . . .

So much fun to watch!
ReplyDeleteLots of new ones around here, Red Angus was first
ReplyDeleteWinter is suddenly back here, so it was nice to see your springlike pictures. Lambs should appear around Cottage in a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteand here come the young new arrivals. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so good to see new life running around with their mums.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing new calves in the spring. I've seen a few this winter and they always worry me a bit, but I suppose they're tougher than they look. At least I hope so!
ReplyDeleteThe baby farm animals are the sweetest signs of spring! Love the pretty pastures :)
ReplyDeleteSeeing new baby animals in spring is uplifting! I look forward to the deer having fawns here around May. They hide their fawns in our backyards when they go roaming for food.
ReplyDeleteSome lovely pictures and nice words from Russell :) Here we have snowstorm and I have a white winterwonderland outside the window...
ReplyDeleteLove from a cold Sweden and Titti
Well, of course mothers have to be protective.
