Baby Animal Days

There is local annual event of the same name as the title of this post, that was held in Wellsville at the American West Heritage Center last weekend. This post is not about that event, but it's about our very own baby animal days.

As you may have read from an older post, we have been hosting a few of my brothers yearlings and a soon to be mommy cow.

The soon to be part of that is no more.

I went out to feed Saturday morning and saw that the calf had arrived. The kids were so excited, they'd been waiting for this for a long time.

I'll attach a couple of photos:

Over the winter we've had those other cows with us, and the kids have been real good to come out and help feed them, with occasional lapses of interest setting in.

Now they are extremely anxious to spend time out in the backyard where they can see the new calf, they even come up with reasons to be out there.

Baby animal days are in full swing, and we didn't have to travel across the valley and pay entrance fees, either.
