But then, THE GLORIOUS SUN has come out and we are blessed to be able to say the hard work has paid off as we have not lost a calf to this date! We had a few days where we were soaking up the sun’s rays along with the baby calves, giving me some time to snap a few pictures.




As time has gone on, the weather has turned from crunchy snow, to wet snow, to rain, to “slicker than snot” ice, to slush, to a creek brimming to its fullest capacity. We have been thankful so far as the snow has melted fairly slowly, keeping us from flooding, but I don’t think the creek can handle much more water and we still have quite a bit of snow to melt off. In general, ranchers are usually thankful for the moisture, but this type of weather has caused sloppy calving conditions. We won’t complain, but thank goodness we only have nineteen cows left to calve!
