I enjoy checking the cows with Jamie...except, when it is muddy because mud, I believe, ruins clothes. The weather was brisk last night...May 12th=winter coat, snow boots, mittens and hat with hood pulled up.
We found a baby calf (just born that day) sleeping all by itself near the old trucks and such you can see in the background. Hmm...where could it's mother be?
There was one cow looking over towards us when we found this baby, so Jamie figured that was the mom and we chased her toward the baby. We tried to connect them! Jamie was using all these techniques like making baby cow noises and carrying this calf through the mud to try to get the mom to sniff it (see above)---apparently one sniff and it's true love forever.
The mom and baby did not seem to like each other--they would not have anything to do with each other. Jamie had to drive around really fast throwing all this mud (and I'm not going to think about what else) all over.
Eventually there was a match--but it was not the cow we originally were trying to match. The first cow had just been curious and in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I am sparing you my face....and if you think these aren't that muddy, that is because I was using my best efforts to protect them.
