Thomas, calf #3. This is as close as I could get to him. He’s the one out in front with his tail curled up in the air. Every time I see him, he’s got his tail curled up in the air. Pretty full of himself, I think.
The first heifer of the year – Dolley. A mini-me of her mother. Hard to see her under there!
And the second heifer of the year – Elizabeth. Such a sweet little thing.
That’s 5 calves on the ground, 2 to go!
I raised cattle for 24 years, and this is the thing I miss most, the spring calves. There is nothing that matches finding one napping in the sun and running your fingers through their warm, sweet smelling hair.
Thomas is my favorite – like you said, all full of himself!!
Ooo, I don’t know if I should tell Tim you named a calf after Tom… he’s still up-set that his grandpa named the cat after Tom and not him 🙂
