Baby Holstein
My kids and granddaughter headed back up north, so, in the late afternoon, I had a chance to go for a walk. It wasn't quite as cold, so I hiked farther than usual, and in the course of my travels into less familiar terrain, I noticed a group of Holstein cows clustered on a patch of fresh hay. I had a feeling I knew what that meant and sure enough, one of the moms had given birth to a new calf, which was all tuckered out and taking a nap. I hope everyone was warm enough, and I hope the little fellow, the emblem of the start of the season of rebirth, is soon up on all fours and exploring its new world.
