Signs of Spring ... and New Life

Last friday night and we were on a drive, we saw in a pasture a brown cow that had just given birth to a black calf. We could see that she was still cleaning the calf.

We sat off to the side of the road for a few minutes and watched. We were hoping to see the calfs first steps.  But even though it tried, it was not able to get up on his feet.

Needless to say the next day when we drove by we noticed the calf was up and romping around. It is a beautiful sign of spring the animals giving birth.
