Desert Girl isn't the only one celebrating a birthday in recent days. We've been welcoming lots of new calves on the ranch. These calves are born to heifers, first-time mama cows. And they are absolutely darling!
The ones in these photos are a few days old. They've been moved from the circle field, where they were born, to a different meadow, which I drive through twice a day. That means there's lots of time for oohing and aahing.
It looks like this calf and heifer are sniffing each other to make sure they've found each other okay.
This heifer and calf are giving me a dirty stare. I guess they wanted a little more privacy.
The calves love to play and go running all over. I can just imagine these heifers trying to figure out where their little one has run off to.
We've had a really mild winter so far, so that's making these new calves have an easy welcome into the world. We're hoping they continue to do well. If you want to see more about cows on the ranch, just click on the cows label below, and you'll see lots more posts.

The photos are beautiful. I will always love the indigo mountains contrasted with the dry yellow grass. Add black cows to the picture and it's great! Glad the weather's been mild to make life a little safer for the calves.
I love this series of photos. =)
