Calf 6

The sixth calf was born on Thursday May 15, three days after calf 5.  Another boy.  Another afternoon birth which I again missed.

Initially Tammy and I thought  the calf would be born a couple days earlier when we saw the mother lay down.  But when she stood up the birth area bulge retreated back into the cow.



I'm not sure how the calf got manure on him so soon.



 "Meet my new son.   Now cleaned up."


Here is a short video of his mother licking him and the calf squirming around.
