While the last two weeks were chaotic here, things in the pasture just churned along happily. Little black calves are popping up everywhere and I really, really, REALLY appreciate good mamma cows.  Even Paisley The Pesky Cow stepped up to the plate this year and managed to not only deliver a healthy baby, but care for it much better this year. It was nice to just walk out to the pasture to find another set of four feet tagging along with Paisley. No worries there!

Bully once again proved why he's such an assest to the ranch. He's easy to handle and his calves could come out sideways and still be delivered with no problems. (just kiddin'! Wouldn't wanna try that!) The calves gain weight fast too. So each year when we think about replacing him with a younger bull, his calf crop hits the ground and we think again, "Maybe we should just keep Bully a little longer . . . "
