What a beautiful non typical rack. This boy has a few years on him and many more to come I hope. Great shots as always Marilyn.

At least the rock was probably gathering heat for the poor flutter fly. It also looks like the snow was melting a little. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving Erv and with Harrison there I'm sure you did.

Thanks Marilyn, the only thing I miss is we still don't have a lot of deer coming around yet like I did when we lived in the Twin Cities. It will take a while before we get them to stick around and the gun deer season just got done a week ago. I am seeing a few on the trail camera out by the feeder though. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

Thanks for looking kabouey, animals are fun to watch as they all have different personalities.

The rancher we work with is a super friend. My wife tends the newborn calves that may not make it on their own. Two years ago we had to pull an extra large calf that would have died. He was so dumb he couldn't find the barn door if you stood him in it. We named him big boy, When we butchered him he gave a little over 800# of meat that we are still enjoying. Every time my wife gets stew meat from the freezer I have to laugh. Every one and every thing has a place on this earth.

They are a hoot to watch when they are first born. The wifes family has a dairy farm and we just wanted to have animals on the hobby farm so we started small with the pregnant holstein. We will someday start selling off and putting some in the freezer for ourselves.

The ranch only calved about 900, down from last year. I still enjoy watching them take their first steps. My wife is bottle feeding 3 leper calves. She has named them, pets them. [worse than grand kids]They are a lot of fun.

We only have 13.5 acres and 3 of it is house shop and barn area with a lot of mowing during the summer. but the tractor with the 60 inch mower only takes 3 hours with one hour of that is trimmer work along fence, house and pine trees. Thanks for looking. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours

You seem to have a lot of acreage; that to me is not retired. Really like the little animals.

On November 15th our 1st cow we purchased had a calf. We had bought one of our nephew's cows he was going to take to the sales barn after it had it's calf. The deal he made with us was we got the calf if we bought the cow. In no way am I going to milk cows in my retirement but to have them to raise and sell for a little extra income and to make use of our 7.5 acres of alfalfa grass mix rather than have other farmers cut and bale. We also have the 2 donkeys we need the hay for so this is just a little bonus. After all this explanation here is the calf and mother just hours after the birth and a week later. The calf is full of energy jumping like a rodeo bull. Not in these pics as I haven't had the camera with when she gets to jumping around.

Nice shots Jake, nothing better than seeing the homeless getting food.

Great series Marilyn, I hope everything settles down and the boys keep their distance.

Gregory I love #4 with the light catching the underside of the wing. Also the eye contact is wonderful. Great series!

Great pictures Marilyn, It looks like their summer coats are almost gone. Out with the red and in with new winter coat, sure hope this doesn't mean a long colder winter. I hope the wounded doe is healed quickly as winter is soon upon us and it could be her demise.

Looks like a great family outing Erv with all enjoying the sand box and birds.

Well Linda so far they haven't been up to the house or pasture where the cows are and that is where the flowers are. We have been to busy to plant a garden this year as we moved in the end of March and I have been busy with repairs here and on the wife's family farm. The invites from the farm keep on coming, rock picking, hay raking and stacking and painting and removing shingles and replacing them with steel roofing. I hope to get more time now back on the UHH forum and will post some pics of the hobby farm and family farm work that has been done.

Thanks for looking Bob and yes I am sure we will form a closer bond as the year goes by. We have only been in the house since the end of March and then only part of the time as I prepared the old home for the market.
