Calf
The “Moose” enters into the world with much excitement. Our newest calf was born three weeks early, When he was born he was gigantic and stood a good two feet taller than the other newborn (who was 5 weeks old when Moose was born). Looking at Moose’s legs is a funny sight. Tall is one description. Confident, eager to run with the other cows is what makes him special. You can see by this picture he is large hence the name, Moose. We will post pictures as he continues to grow.
A couple of days ago, we welcomed a new member to our herd. Momma on Wednesday night started to show signs of delivering her baby. Around 8:00pm we noticed momma was sitting under the tree, sideways and back on her belly. We checked a couple more times and decided we would see what the morning brings. At 6:30 in the morning we small this itty bitty little calve. It almost resembled a cow pile. By midday the little calve was up and nursing. Momma and baby were brought into the pen to keep a close eye for a couple days. Yesterday they were given the green light to go back into the herd. Check out their entrance into the herd at www:erichsenblackdogranch.com or on facebook. You just have to love new little calves.
