Ditch burning, calf photos and tree

Rain didn't come until 6 pm. I was able to burn the rest of my ditch this afternoon as the wind was light.

I checked on the calves today.  No new calves.   I noticed the cattle has pushed in one of the loading corral runway fence panels.

I walked around the corral looking for all the calves.  I was one calf short.  Then I looked in the loading corral runway and found the missing calf.

I saw these two calves laying together.  I went and got my camera as the calf on the left was laying right against the calf on the right.  His head was on the other calf's shoulder and under her head and neck.  Pretty view.  Initially I thought it was the last calf who was born as I couldn't see the ear tag.  Of course when I came back the left calf woke up and raised his head up.  No it wasn't the last born calf.

The last born calf is fine.  Every time I checked on him he was in a different part of the corral.  So he is moving around.  Sometimes laying next to his mother.  Other times elsewhere.

This is a female box elder tree.   The bark was peeling away at this location. I removed the bark.  Under the bark and against the tree were box elder bugs.  This is where they hide!   And on female box elder trees, not male box elder trees.
