Weaning calves, Day 2 and frost

Day 2 of the calf weaning was noisier.  When I woke up this morning I could hear a few calves bawling for their mother. That's the way it has been all day.  Several calves are not happy being away from their mother's milk and are letting the world know.  Several other calves are handling it a little better, though not happy about the situation. "Grandpa Whiskers" is taking it in stride.   The mothers are handling it a little better, though a few times they answer their calves.

Yesterday was a beautiful day: sunny, calm wind, temperature in the upper 30s.  Today an inversion set in and it has been very foggy all day with a chill in the air.  I think the temperature was in the upper 20s most of the day.

The frost stayed on the trees all day.
