Three baldy calves born this week in rain,sleet and mud.
Bad weather event calves are born.

That's the way it goes. Looks like they are doing well.

Doesn't look too muddy now and the calves look good. But yeah, Murphy's Law.

Low pressure systems bring more than one kind of flood.

Well they are up at the pen, my creek bottoms aren't too deep.
Seen a wood duck walking across it this morning, his legs are only four inches.

Same here. Had 6 in past 4 days and more about to bust. Nothing but rain and cold in the forecast.

Had one born on the coldest day of February 2018. Single digits with a howling north wind. Mama was smart enough to be on the south side of the ol chicken house. I thought for sure the calf would at least lose a lil ear. She grew well. She waited til almost 3 years later to prolapse and die.
Cows and calves are truly incredible sometimes! Tough lil boogers.

The day after being born...

The day b4 was enough ice to bring trees down. Gotta count blessings where we can.
