Hey guys, guess what?! Momma cow and graft calf love each other and are doing great (insert goofy celebratory dance here)! On Saturday I was at the ranch to grab my horse and go help a friend. When I brought the horse back, this mother cow was making typical protective noises cows make when they have a calf and you could tell the calf had nursed on her own (she had dried milk slobbers on her nose). My mom moved them to a bigger pen since they didn’t need any more assistance and they are off and running. Within a day or two this new pair will go back out into the pasture with the rest of the pairs. Phew!
