It's a boy!!

We are pleased to announce the birth of a new addition on our farm. Length: 3 feet, Height: 3 feet, Weight: Oh, about 50 lbs. or so, Name: #3.

Yes, we had our first calf of the year. It's a bull calf, so we will plan to raise him to about 2 years of age and then he will move on either to the butcher or the auction. It was born last Thursday--of course, when Brian was away. She just couldn't wait another few days I guess. We're hoping for a few more calves this spring to add to our herd. Hopefully we get some girls!!

Brian arrived home safely Saturday evening. We were certainly glad to see him get off that bus! He had a great time, despite the bug bites everywhere :-) Lots of stories and memories to share!
