"Tiny" the Calf

While at Jason and Mary Abell's, checking on the progress of hay making, we were informed of a newborn calf. Jason and I did a quick look for the calf but came up empty. Later the small calf was found in some multifloral rose bushes.


I was able to catch the very small calf, which has been named "Tiny".

New Calf

We have been out of the neighborhood for a couple of weeks visiting our sons, Brad in Michigan and Chuck in Iowa. We stopped at Jason's to catch up on the neighborhood news and had a chance to see a new calf shortly after it was born. We noticed one of the cows (Donna) was laying on its side and "dropped" the calf as we started to walk to the field.

Donna was cleaning the calf when we arrived.


After a few minutes the calf took its first steps.
