Finally!! Calf 14

Diamond finally had her calf this afternoon.  Around 3 pm. I just missed seeing the birth. The calf is a little bull calf.  Donna and her daughter came over to help me band and ear tag the calf.

Maria's calf was all excited to see the new calf.  She stayed in the loafing shed rather than go out with her mother to eat grass in the yard.




The milk is not at that end!

Getting closer to the milk!

Donna's daughter also brought her dog along on a leash.  As you can see Maria's calf was fascinated by the dog.



Rain came this evening.  Diamond and her calf stayed dry in the loafing shed.

Diamond's calf came along at a good time.  Maria and Diamond have a day to a day and a half of grass to eat out of the yard.  After that I can let them out to the north pasture to eat there.
