How about some calves?

I haven't showed any of our spring 2011 calf-crop, so last weekend when I went out to "help" I took my camera.

I just love their faces..Wish they would hold still so I could go rub on them all the time. They're so soft.

This poor cow (and calf) were taken to the barn.  She had dust pneumonia.

 Another farm, but same cow-family.  I love how this calf is a different color tan/brown than her Mom.  Her Dad is red Angus, and she's dark brown...hmmmm.

 We call this Milk Coma.  Licking the milk off of his nose and it drips off his chin.

Can you see the newborn hiding in the grass? 

 This cow's name is SuperStar.  She will eat you if you get between her and her calf.  She's a good mama, but stay away from her.  Her calf is a heifer, and I want to keep her in our herd.  Superstar is getting some age on her and will need a replacement in a few years.

 This is one of DH's tame mamas.  He always tries to have a few of these so they'll train the other cows to the pickup.  Spoiled pets....gives him someone to talk to when I'm not there.

 Here's one that still has a calf in her...or she's been eating too much hay.  I know exactly how she feels.

Red Mamas and red Daddy and the babies have white streaks across their faces.  I love it.

I think these two got into the marshmallow cream when Mama wasn't looking. 

The next time I get to go help, they will be a lot bigger.
