Baby calves

It is that time of the year at the farm when the baby calves arrive.  The girls always love going to the farm but especially when they might get a chance to pet a baby calf in the barn or watch them kick up their heels & tear around in the straw.  Two years ago Grandpa gave each of the girls a heifer from a set of twins that he had.  Natalie's is black & does not have a name for her.  Dana's is a mousy grey with a white face & calls her Mabelle.  This year was especially exciting as those heifers would be having their first calf.  Dana's arrived on April 9th & Natalie's on April 14th so we made a trip out to the farm to see them last Sunday. Plus it was a chance for me to take the new Highlander out for a highway drive!  Dana's was out in a pen & was harder to catch, but Nat's was still int the barn so she got a chance to get up close.
