People Shy

Yesterday we went to see how our neighbor's calves are coming along.  Seven have been born so far. 
This one wasn't concerned about having company.  He didn't bother to get up.
This little lady blinked at us with her pretty, long-lashed eyes. 
This one was a little shy.
He hurried to stay close to Mom.  I guess he thought the people were too scary.

  1. Those little ones are sure cute. The one in the first photo is smart - it's too cold to get up out of the hay!

  2. They are adorable - and yes, I know that's dreadfully sentimental. Young animals of any species are just so . . . innocent. (Don't think I could be a farmer . . . ;-()

  4. Oh, Janie, what adorable little guys/gals! They are so beautiful! And, yes, I'm a complete wuss where these little guys are concerned. When I was a teenager I used to visit my uncles farm and frequently during calving he and I would go out to look for the ones that weren't able to get up and follow their mother to the barn. Seemed like there were always a few. And my uncle would lift them up and put them in front of me on my horse and then we'd carry them in. I always looked forward to my visits there and this was one of the main reasons. Fun memories! Hope you have a great week!

  6. They are cute. In a few months when we return to the Sierra the meadows around Bridgeport will be full of them. There the grass is lush all summer.

  9. Maybe his mum tells that if he's not good the humans will make him into hamburger and steak... ;)

    They are incredibly striking against the snow, and I know it's probably silly, but I'm amazed that they're not cold!

    Thank you so much for all the supportive comments too, I'm going to take you advice.

  18. Some of my happiest childhood memories took place on my Grandma and Grandpa's farm in Oregon. I LOVED feeding the baby calves with the nipple pail. I'd even dance and sing for the cows like the silly City kid I was.
