Calf Came Right on Time

Brand new baby born about an hour ago, still wet and hasn't nursed yet. Mom is very protective so I didn't hang around. The rest of the herd is lying up in the high pasture behind these woods.
One of the many advantages of AI (artificial insemination) is the calves come pretty close to an established due date.  Two of the Angus girls who were AI'ed were due to calve April 4.  I just came back from tramping the woods and fields looking for them and we have one calf on the ground and another very near.  The weather is suppose to clear tonight, so these babies should get a good start.

Talk about blooming where you are planted!,
This little violet was blooming all alone on a muddy cow pocked hill side.
