Baby Calves

I love calving season. (Not the gross watching of the calves being born part, but the new life part.) I love seeing little babies running around. Every once in awhile a mama cow will either birth twins and not nurse one, not make it through the birth or have a calf unable to eat and we'll have to bottle feed that baby.

Not the most fun gig.

But the boys LOVE it.

This past week we've had a couple of calves that needed to be bottle fed and the boys were on the job (with the help of grandma and papa)

Excitement.

All clear?

Serious business.

Work on the ranch is never done....
