Spring is Coming!!

Spring has arrived!! Well, not officially!! Here on the farm though we recognize the coming of spring by the signs of new life moving around our pastures. This is always our favorite time of year as new babies are being born almost every day.

Harry saddles his horse every morning and rides out among the herd to check on the new moms. He lost his beloved horse a few months ago, so he has a new gelding in training. When we first got here, the cows were not sure of this strange creature parading through their fields, but now they are getting used to his presence. Mack is becoming a nice working horse that is responding in great ways to Harry.


 He was not quite sure what I was doing, and the moms surrounding him were certainly alert!
 The moms were calling to their babies as soon as we started walking
 in the fields (just like good moms should.)
 Babies like to have play time with their friends too!
 Look at that face!
A meeting of the minds...the cows on the right are steers. 
They visit at least once a day with the moms and babies.
