First baby of Spring

This calf is what we call a Simmi Blaze

Or maybe Simmi Angus Blaze

A simmintal/angus cross calf with a white blaze on her face.

My cowboy is particularly partial to this kind of calf.

He says, "I like some chrome on them."

Surprise blizzard baby born at the Connealys.

Mama apparently ... ahem ... was a bit too generous with her affections

during an ... encounter ... so brief only the presence of the calf attests to ... let's call it an 'elopement'.

And here is one finally picture.

I call it Mad Cow.

Look very closely and you'll see she is pawing the straw.

Pawing the straw.

As in bull fighting, el toro, pawing the dirt getting ready to CHARGE.

I'm taking these pictures through an iron gate or you'd have pictures of me RUNNING.

Even extremely tame, gentle cows, which this cow is, have instincts and I don't disregard them.
