Our First Baby For 2021

 It's always interesting to see who gives birth first as calving season at LB Farm begins.  This year it was Vivian.  She was not who we thought would be first.  We try to give Vivian's babies' names that begin with a V.  Since this little guy was first, we named him Little Valentino after his daddy.  He's a real cutie and his mama is great.  Welcome Little Valentino!

New Years Snowstorm

We started 2021 with a snowstorm.  The yearlings ran and played.  Four to six inches of the white stuff was just plain fun!

The new mamas found the snow wet and cold.   With a baby at her side or one fixing to be birthed, the moms found the weather challenging.  The babies were just days old and without guidance from their moms, it could have been tragic!

The mamas lead their babies into the shed where neither the wind nor snow could touch them.  Sweetie had her baby named "Snow" during the storm.  The little guy was kept warm and dry; well taken care of by his mama.
