Calving Time

Maeg's New Boy

First calf of 2006 - a little bull calf, born to Maeg (via Chip) this morning about 7am. It was most unusual for a Highland birth: she came up to the paddock and had him under the apple tree. Most of the time these girls go down by the creek in the most isolated spot they can find. Maybe it's experience (this is her second calf here) or maybe there's coyotes about (I did hear some late last night, off in the distance), but whatever. He's on the ground, cleaning up and getting fed. One down, three to go.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
