I've noticed that when it's cold out they hunch more the first few days--probably trying to get warm, what a change and shock it has to be. But, if it's nice out they are straight backed and running around in no time.

Ohhhhh, he is cute! Will he stay that color or change to the black and white I'm more used to seeing?

No, he will stay like that for the rest of his life (mind you, he will still get bigger :hit). He may lighten in color a little bit, but he'll stay brown. Brown, referred to as dun in Beltie lingo, is a recessive gene. Dun animals dress out better than black ones. :celebrate

I guess that's what brown can do for you ;)

Good morning

Something wiped out another duck nest last night, I don't know if it's cats, dogs or something the dogs don't know they can "deal with". I still have all the goose eggs that didn't hatch, so I am going to try to set some live traps today.

GrassFarmerGalloway, that calf is way too cute!

Kitty, glad your getting your field work done! I want to get out there and get started on some of mine, but latest rains we've been having are not helping much!
