Yesterday, we made our way to the lease to check and feed the cows. When we arrived, we found them in a nice grassy area enjoying the warm weather. We poured out the feed and all but one ran up. We knew she must have had a calf by the way she was acting. She slowly came up and you could tell by the looks of her that she JUST had the calf. She took a few nibbles of food and went back out in the grass. The husband and I couldn't resist following her to check out the new baby.
It amazes me how well these little babies can hide in the grass. All we could see was the head.
Then s/he decided it better get up and go with momma. From the looks of it, s/he hadn't been up and around yet. S/he still had sea legs!

Hello baby! It always amazes me that they can hit the ground (almost) running. Thanks for the memories. Haven't seen that in awhile.
Precious! How I wish we had bare ground here like you do!
Aww... s/he's so little!!
You know, I look at cows every day and we will be calving ourselves starting any day now, but I never get tired of such beauty and wonder. Thank you for a delightful series of photos! That is one gorgeous baby!
Awww. And seconding what my mom said. I don't care HOW many new calves I see, there is something so very very special about each and every one of them. What a precious little babe. What is that one's background?
And I had the same problem you did a few days back. There was no word verification. I had to try submitting it five times before one showed up.
Aww I always miss the cows when I read your blog. How cute.

We still have a month to wait for our calves, but it is sure nice to see them when they are brand new!

Baby animals are all soooooo cute.
PS - I'm beginning to think that Robynn isn't real...the woman never sleeps. I can't tell you how many times she is the first commenter in blogdom.
Aww what a pretty little baby! We banded calves this weekend -fun fun! I only got a few pics until I had to get in the pen and help - Ah life as a farmers wife! I posted the few I had on my blog this morning.
Thanks for sharing, I don't think that us city folks ever get to see such a wonder.
I did get to see new born lambs at my sisters farm a few years ago, but that was pretty much it.
