Little surprises

[Tchernobog]

We were not expecting any new additions to the herd until at least the end of the month, but sometimes life gives you little surprises:


Now only three more expectant mothers to go...

That's cute. Lots of snow too.

[dosgamer000]

Looks like a beanie baby actually.

[Tchernobog]

"Beanie baby" has been RFID ear tagged and sexed. It is a boy, by the way.

As for the Texan claiming lots of snow, it was 9 C° (48.2 F°) today. Not much snow left, and it has been warm for weeks.

[VGames]

That's more snow then we've seen here in almost a decade. 48° is too cold.

@Tcherno:

It's not an egg of course, but I have always been a supporter of cows, just so you know.

Second bull calf arrived last Wednesday night. Been too busy to post:



Everybody needs a good wash.

[VGames]

Shaggy little suckers.

[Tchernobog]

You have seen nothing yet. Wait to you see an adolescent calf going through its first full winter:



Get your shag on.

[N0t_mINe]

Too bad beefalo never caught on as a food product.

[VGames]

Yeah really. Buffalo is freaking good too.

Oh well. They weren't created to look cute.

[Tchernobog]

Technically these guys are more likely to become breeding animals rather than beef, since I have been selling them to other ranchers directly ever since they closed the livestock auction in Drayton Valley.

I suppose they may end their journey as baloney though. After a glorious time being a stud.

[VGames]

That's how I want to go.

[Tchernobog]

Been a little while, but we got another bull calf today:



Don't think I have ever delivered a calf at 30 C° (86 F°) before. Now just one more to go.

[VGames]

He looks healthy and strong. That's awesome. How many head of cattle do u have?
