Calving Season...and mud.

Published: Mar 4, 2014 by Kay Schrock · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

...Lots and lots of mud! We had received about 18-20 inches of snow over the last two weeks, and when the temps rose and rose today - well, all that melting snow had to go somewhere! There are small lakes everywhere, mud is oozing over my boots, and Horse Creek is rushing along at a grand pace!

I took a break this afternoon and went out for some fresh air... OK, partly to see the miracle of a small flood in my backyard, and partly to see more calves. I am kind of enamored with them! 🙂

Horse Creek is full to overflowing!

This heifer is in labor - the bag is protruding - sure sign that a calf is on the way! I wish I could have stayed long enough to watch it being born - but I had to leave.
