Our first calf was born last week...
We have Shorthorn mother cows and Angus Bulls
This calf was born yesterday...
Minutes after the calf hit the ground my favorite guy
is checking it over...
He checks to see if it is a bull or heifer calf...
He treats the navel with iodine.
The goats watch from the field nearby...
The goats will begin to kid soon.
We are across the river at the calving barn today.
From here we have a view of the back of our place....
The sun came out briefly and really lit up the red barn.
The black yearling calves are grazing along the river bank.
These calves were born this time last year.
After checking on the newborn calves, it is time to
load up hay for the yearling cattle...
Here comes the rain again...
We are back at home again:
This photo was taken from our back yard,
looking across river.
The two big white barns in this photo...
that is where we were checking on the new calves
earlier today.
After dinner I put together a few necklaces
from some of my art beads:
I made these beads a few weeks ago...
I am fond of making those chunky bird beads...
These were painted with black paint and
then I rubbed the paint off.
We are already seeing a few spring birds that
have migrated to Western Oregon.
Spring is coming early again this year!
