Ramblings-n-Writings

The ABC Wednesday letter for this week is “Y.” I have the perfect photos for “Y” too. Our barnyard is turning into a nursery, so today, I’m sharing photos of young calves.

At the time of the photo, the calf on the left was about 9 days old (born Dec. 20), and the one laying down was 3 days old. Aren’t they the cutest?

“Mom! Mom! Where are you?” The little one is moo-ing for mommy (not the cows in the photo). Such an adorable sound! Do you see the cute little white tip on the tail?

This guy is older, born in November, but doesn’t he look like a sheep with his black face?

Our bull is a full-blooded, registered Black Angus, but some of the mothers are Red Angus. When the calves are born, sometimes they have a brownish-red coat that they’ll shed to become jet black.
