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!!!!
