Pictures are good for keeping Valerie happy...
Not to mention, my last attempt at a blog post wasn't as universally appreciated as the calf thread was.
So, alas, I asked Kelly to give me the best of the best of the pictures from the other day. Lo and behold, here they are, in all their digital glory.
Come and see oh ye bloggety ones!!

Of course, it was raining, and the calf got soaked when Mama ventured out for a little food.

She's a cute one alright! I'd say the name Belle suits her just fine!

A rather cinematic shot. That's Racer the horse and John the wannabe Cowboy. (hint, the horse is the one on the right.)

Here's an earlier picture. This is pretty much our whole family, and Dale Heustis, all gathered to see the calf. Dad was on the phone with Jack, and thus we didn't want to bother him. He came out and saw her later though.

And of course, a much earlier picture (last summer/autumn) of the kids 'round the campfire right outside our house. Man, we've cleaned things up a bit since then...

Anyone want a picture of my Dog?
Hunter.
Didn't think so. Whatever.
He's almost healed up from being torn to hell by a pack of coyote's. Big ones. Think, bigger than Hunter. That's huge for a coyote, but they've been having a rich feast here during the spring. Calves, rabbits, possum, and snakes are all wonderful food sources for these beasts, and they thrive on them.
They said Kaufman had some of the worst coyote's in Texas, but we didn't really know it was true. Apparently, during this time, most of the ranchers 'round these parts put their cattle indoors, unless.....
Unless they've got some stupid DONKEY out in the field. This is the one single purpose of that blasted animal. Obviously, Hunter would be no match for them, but they say a Donkey would kill all of them.
Amazing isn't it?
Before I go, I'd like to post something Todd sent me.
Todd's a great guy...
That's about it for now, but yawl enjoy yourselves!

This is the field, and it's where we work with the animals. Of course, that's my standard "It's cold and wet outside, and the animals stink!" outfit.

This is Mama and the Baby. They don't really trust me, but they are extremely amazed by the flash on the camera Kelly had.
