Graduation Day

Our friendly heifer has now been graduated to cow status.

On Monday, as Keith was headed down the drive to go to his off-farm job, he noticed that one of our heifers--our friendliest bovid resident--was giving birth. Two hooves were out, and frost was already forming on them. This being her first calf, and the weather a chilly 18 degrees, he came back in, changed clothes, and recruited some aides. They went and helped out with the birthing process, pulling the calf. Cow and calf seem to be doing fine.
