Bovine Babies

I can't let another spring pass without my annual bovine baby post as promised. :) And as usual, I got a  little carried away. Ya'll are probably REALLY in trouble whenever we have grandchildren! LOL.


This is a picture heavy post today:


It sure did take a long time for me to go through these and edit which ones I wanted to use. I figured if I let them set for a few weeks, they wouldn't be as cute and I'd have an easier time. Nope:


Still cute:


And they're much cuter without the watermark, but I've had folks tell me I need to add that. The past 6 months I've been working up some of my photos as cards to sell. After 30 years, I am still thrilled when baby calves start hitting the ground in February:


And I never tire of it:


It was just a glorious spring day


And I just plopped myself down in a spot and started snapping pictures:


These cows are the best Mamas:


Sweet faces:


The maternal bond is alive and well:


I'll post part 2 in a few days, but hopefully these made ya'll smile.


I figure that's a pretty good way to kick off a Monday:

Oh my gosh, those calves are adorable. Are you able to pet them, give them hugs? Those mamas look like they could be pretty protective -- and dangerous, too, with their great horns.

They are SO cute!! Any idea how many there are at this point? My friend has 8 or 9 cows and I went out with her once to feed them some apples. But EWWW, they were slobbering!! HAHA I just threw the apples on the ground but she actually let them eat out of her hand. GROSS!! LOL

Great photos, Karin! You captured some wonderful moments.
Actually, I look forward to the grandbabies. I'm sure those photos will be even cuter!

Baby calves hold a soft spot in my heart. On the dairy farm, one of my chores was to teach them how to drink out of a bucket. I cherish those memories, even he times when they'd drench me with the entire contents of the bucket. It's hard to be mad when they are so sweet.

I do love bovine babies! We're surrounded by cow pastures, and the late winter babies are so precious! We have one farm on our road that's longhorns. One that's got all black Angus cows. One that has banded cows (or oreo cows, as I like to call them) and one that's got a hodge-podge. My favorite is to see the babies run and buck and chase each other -- they are SOOOO funny!! :)

Thank you for sharing these. Too cute! In the first picture, are they twins or just good buddies? They are adorable. A friend at work lives on a farm and she always send me photos of her new born calves too. She knows I love to see those cute little faces ... and long tongues, lol. ;^)

Great pictures! Sweet babies! We calve in the fall, but right now I have baby goats, and I'm just giddy over how adorable they are. Baby animals of any kind just melt my heart. Can't wait till your next post of babies!!!!
