Sometimes you just have to slow down and take in the beauty around you. A beautiful spring day when the birds are singing, the sun is shining and a gentle breeze is blowing bids you to cast a fishing line into the pond just to see what bites. Because all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Each spring we raise 2-4 bottle babies, usually dairy breed males. Although they are a tremendous amount of work, expense and worry with very little (if any) financial gain, we typically really enjoy the efforts. On Monday we purchased this spring’s babies. Here’s a sneak peak at the cuteness.
Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. ~Homesteader~, it’s a GIRL!
At last our first A.I. calf of 2012 has been born. Welcome to the world little one!

Soon we’ll be taking our newest stocker calves through the chute to work them, our first 2012 AI calf is due to be born in a couple of weeks, and there are numerous chores to catch up on before warmer spring weather arrives. It promises to be a fun but busy season.
