Hopefully this is the last photo of a wet little calf that I post! Isn’t he cute?!? Another day or so of this mess and we’re supposed to be back on the upswing into spring.
This little guy was born Wednesday afternoon. The kids got out of school early, and Olivia had a friend over to play. They were all out jumping on the trampoline and got to see Dmitry being born! So Olivia and her friend (a “town girl” who thought that was a pretty cool thing to see) thought they should get to name him. I don’t know where the name “Dimitry” came from, but that’s what they came up with.
Yesterday’s calf is doing great so far. He was even out and about in the rain this afternoon, running and jumping through the mud! In fact all 3 calves were romping about this afternoon. A very reassuring thing to see – they’re weathering the weather well.

That calf has loads of character. Great name for him, girls!
dimitry, a fine suiting name.
You’re popping them out right and left. Glad all are doing well!!!Kris
Great for kids to see a calf born! I just love your farm photos, and I hope you don’t mind if I recommend your site today. I like “real” farm blogs.The warmer weather will be welcome. My son was disappointed….two track meets cancelled in the past few days.
Great pictures, really great. Jeanelle sent me. :)Mary
I’m here via Jeanelle’s blog, too. I think I’ll stay and look around a while – fascinating blog for a Detroit girl like me 🙂
Glad to hear that they are all doing well:) Girls did a great job on the name. Hope you see sunshine as planned. Have a good weekend
Dimitry is adorable but he looks really mad in this photo.
Thanks, everyone! All of the calves are doing remarkably well. Hi to everyone that came over from jeannelle’s blog!
