Calving Season!Calving season
has been officially declared "over" as of April, 2010. This year
brought five new calves to the Ranch. They were all boys, so our
bull did a great job for us!
In late October the Ranch Managers were awakened by a 5:30 AM phone call
reporting that two calves had escaped, and that one of them had been
hit by a car. By the time we arrived up at the front gate the two
calves had returned to the property on their own. The sheriff's
deputy was still on the scene. Number 46 calf was limping badly, but
was able to walk. It looks like he was very lucky indeed.
It would later be
determined that the front electric gate had not closed
completely, allowing the two calves to squeeze out and get onto the
road.
