Alta

The first one is here!

Paul and I went errand running Friday after he got off work.

(We were buying a radio receiver, not toilet paper!!)

We got home around 8:10 and decided to make one last barn check.

There was a calf on the way!

20 minutes later tiny little Miss Alta was here!

All of the yearling calves came to greet the newcomer.

Alta is a small but mighty little thing.

Maybe even a little naughty.

At 9:30 Paul and I went out to check her right before bed.

She had been trying to escape and had gotten herself stuck.

We fixed everything again so she couldn't escape or get stuck.

 At 12:30 we went out again.

She hadn't had anything to eat yet 

so we got her going on that before we finally headed for bed.

And Saturday she was as happy and bouncy

as she could be!
