There are five!!!

It’s been a very exciting weekend!!! With this heat the most important thing is to be sure these calves are not left out in the blazing sun and that all of the herd has water and shade! Each morning and afternoon involves a head count as well as relocating any calves that have decided to just park themselves in the sun. Sometimes this involves physically picking them up and moving them in to the shade. Most of the time their mamas will be sure they are safe….but sometimes you have to step in and relocate them to safe shade….calves will dehydrate quickly in the hot sun.
