Correction PLUS

 

I got it wrong!  Big Mama had a little girl, not a boy.  So we named her, Tres, because she has three white spots on her forehead.  Tres is growing and healthy.  She's becoming more independent (she will run around her mama and away from her mama) yet she still stays close when she's suppose to.

On the PLUS side of things, Blanca had a little boy today.  We named him Rorschach, Ror for short.  As you can see below, he has quite the facial pattern.  It's like he's part of the Rorschach Test.  This little guy was up and about moments after his birth.  Mama Blanca and Ror are doing great!!

Big Mama Is First

 

Big Mama has the prize for birthing the first baby of the new birthing season.  This little boy will be called, Mama's Boy.  The reason for the name, is Big Mama has dropped all of her usual activities like grazing regularly, leading the herd, and being first at the feed troughs, to care for her baby.  She's very smitten with this calf.  Mama's Boy is healthy and made his appearance yesterday afternoon.  It appears that Big Mama got pregnant in February when we had to put all the cows in with the bull because of water issues during the winter storms.  The "window" for this happening was very tight, but Big Mama and Valentino made the "best" of a bad situation.  I predict there are others who took advantage of that short February "window."  For now, we are just celebrating our new baby!!!!
