First calf of the year.

I spotted a new calf in the pasture, the first one born this year. I had to leave Blondie in Tommy's good care for awhile.


The new calf thought he was well hidden behind this sagebrush :)


In my eagerness to take a picture I did a bad thing, it's not a good idea to approach a calf next to a fence because this happens.....


He almost went through and guess who was coming to see him...


I didn't want to find out what Wildairo would do to a new born calf so I beat a hasty retreat and the calf settled back down.

Here's the new mum...notice she doesn't give a hoot.


Before I left the animals in peace I just had to give Echo a bear hug. He tolerates it and doesn't move because he doesn't want to squish my toes. I duck under his head.......


and lock my arms around his neck and give him a cuddle.
