Calving Time

Yesterday afternoon Landen and I decided to join Kevin & Jaren with the afternoon chores. With the days usually being so cold and windy Landen & I stay home while the other two go and check on the calves. Jaren has wanted us to come and see the calvies so badly so we bundled up and headed out to "help". This was the first time that Landen has really been around the cows and I soon found out that he wasn't that excited about it. He fussed quite a bit when the animals would get a little too close. He was much more content to sit on a quad with his Dad and fall asleep as we drove through the groups of cattle!

Landen was not quite to sure what to make of these little animals with 4 long legs and 2 big ears. He did not want to get too close and be left alone with his new furry friend. All he knows is Keesha and he'd much rather be by her side! I have a feeling this twin calf maybe felt the same about the blue marshmallow sitting next to him!

My boys! (and Coby - the "Great" cattle dog!!)

Checking on a set of twins in the barn.

Jaren decided to make friends with a sleeping 1 day old calf.

They both stayed there for the longest time just looking at each other until the calf decided to go back to sleep. He was in no hurry to go anywhere!

Landen and Jaren enjoying watching the calves tear around the corral. Landen happy that is it from a safe distance!

Last chance at trying to make snow angels - wasn't much snow left until we got a little dump in the early hours of this morning. Hopefully there is still more to come!
