What a Way to End the Calving Season!

When we returned home from the Utah State Fair yesterday (more on that later this week), we found Seana in the corner of the pasture - and we knew what that meant!  Her calf was on the way!  We watched her pace and get up and down until it was too dark to see.  We found a newly svelte Seana this morning.  Tucked away in the milk weeds was this little gift:

Definitely red, definitely a heifer and although last this year, she's certainly not least!

Checking on her through out the day, we saw more of her rump than her face (but it's a cute face!).  Seana is very easygoing about her calves, so in a day or so, I'll get to go rub that sweet little head.

And just for fun, tonight's picture in the weanling corral:

Lots of little shining eyes peering through the fence - waiting so impatiently for their evening snack. 
 
 Cuties.
