The "awww" factor...

This is Rose (a Dexter cow) and her brand, spankin' new calf. I arrived on the scene mere moments after he was born. I was able to see his first wobbly attempts at standing, his first steps, and his first trip to the "milk bar." What a miracle it is that a baby cow can be up and on the go within moments of birth... and how do they know about the whole nursing thing? As a friend of mine said, "They must get directions from a higher source." It is magic, and was a privilege to witness.
