New Babies Everyday

As you can see, it's calving season here on the Oklahoma range.  We began to have calves during those cold, snowy days late last week and now have seven new babies.  Most are perfectly marked with the British White black nose, ears and feet.  Sometimes we have one that is 'over marked' with more black on it's coat than the others.  Then, like the one we found this morning, once in a great while, there's a surprise waiting for us. . . an all black calf.  This black calf had only been born minutes before we found her.  We got to watch her stand up for the first time.  They're so cute and truly remind you of the 'cycle of life' that continues year after year.

Steve and I began in the British White Cattle business over twenty two years ago and have always kept a herd of around twenty breeding cows.   Our favorite time each year is always in late winter when all the calves are born.  Steve's would tell you he also loves the day they sell too.  Which is only right, I suppose.
