This little calf… less than 12 hours old… is trying out her new legs! Still unsteady at a standstill, she’s trying and succeeding at bucking and playing! What joy! Joy from Carol Greet on Vimeo. **** Post your questions for my next Q&A session in the comment section!

Tonight!
The guys had to go to town to talk to the accountant, and seeing as how my brain fogs up as soon as someone says “accountant”, I volunteered to stay and check the heifers. It was a nice, sunny day… and honestly, it’s the kind of day where I really miss checking the heifers! Sure…
Calf Warmer
Still hung around close to the house today… working on some wool projects and cleaning… After lunch, though, I said I’d feed my bees and head down to where the guys were installing the calf warmer. After some research, I decided NOT to give the bees any corn syrup, as liquids need to be dried…
Bottle Baby Video
Cattle don’t usually give birth to twins, and we’ve found that it is best to leave just one calf with its momma, and take the other one away. This one will be bottle fed until a new mother can be found for him. He’s always very insistent and you have to be careful! He will…
Awwwww, Again!
We have a new bottle baby, and Brandon knew I’d love this one! That’s because I have a fondness for baldy babies! Those white faces are hard to resist! Am I right? OK, everyone, say, “Awwwwwwww, again!”

Cold Calf on a Cold Day
At first thought, I worried Brandon had run over a dog… then I realized! He was walking into my house with a newborn calf in his arms! Movie forgotten, Victoria, I, and the twins descended onto her to warm her up. It was cold outside, the weather has dropped to zero and a few degrees…
Wordless Wednesday – “Patience”
Patience is a virtue, especially while waiting for this spring to arrive…
Snowstorm Calf
8 inches… Which is better than many parts of Wyoming that did receive the predicted foot of snow. The 60 and 70 mph winds did hit the southern section of the state, and the usual windy spots had their snow blown into impressive drifts as well. Good thing our carpenter listened to the weather reports…
Bond. Just Bond!
I traipsed around after the guys the other afternoon… shocked to find that only 5 miles down the road, they didn’t have snow! Somehow, I always think if I have snow… everyone has snow… You’d think I’d learn. We live just over the divide, and it frequently starts snowing within 3 miles of home. Anyway,…
