and love him as much as I did.
He's not your usual clueless macho cowboy.

More Spring Babies

Gathered around the hay feeder.

Look at this one with the cute stripe on her face.
Our calves are mostly black so we love a little excitement!


Here's a close up. :)

Look at this two cuties. They're posing for me.


And this one, well, not POSING so much as staring, waiting for me to ATTACK!

Scary dangerous humans!


We found him all alone. Where is his mama? What can have happened?

Uh...turns out she wandered off to eat grass. Crisis averted.

Or maybe phonetic?
Stick with it through a few seconds of whatever language that is.
