[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1139356, member: 20580"] It's been awhile since I've shared some pictures, hope to get some more pictures now that everything is out in the pasture and happy after the rough winter and cool spring we had. This is one from early April of a week or so old calf. Showed this to a breeder we were visiting this weekend and he just loved it and says it belongs on the cover of something so had to share it.
