We drove over to the other pasture to see the young cows and their calves this last Sunday. It was getting to be later in the evening and they were on the other side of the draw where we couldn’t drive closer to them.

 I forgot the binoculars and Verne forgot a bribe bucket so we just waited until their curiosity get the best of them. 

 Finally, the herd bull Clyde and the younger bulls crashed through the patch of cattails in the bottom of the draw and came across the pasture to check out why we were sitting there. After a little while the head cow brought the rest of the cows and calves but they still kept their distance, which is natural with wild mothers.

 Oh how much the calves have grown in the past month!

 The calves little horn buttons were showing and they were curious about who was in their pasture. Patches of darker hair was starting to show on their faces.

 There was one little two-week old calf in the group and it was so much smaller than the rest of them. Just like all “babies” they grow up fast!

 It was getting dark by the time the herd moved over to us, but I got a few snapshots to share with you. Enjoy the baby photos! 

4th of July

 We’ll be going to Lindsborg’s 4th of July celebration in the park Sunday evening. The local Lions club will be serving buffalo burgers (furnished by Smoky Hill Bison) plus there will be a musical program topped off with a fireworks display.

The weather forecast looks like it will be a nice day to enjoy the outdoor celebration. I hope you get to enjoy the long holiday weekend too.
