I really hope to get organized and be more diligent about updating this blog. I appreciate all our herd friends who check in on us and have promised you updates and pictures.. I hope to be better soon! We have two new calves.. Ellie Mae (who Jim named.. ‘his’ first calf.. ha ha) is getting big and is a sweetie of a cow.. and just this Monday we have a tiny little bull calf who still has no name but is unofficially “jethro” of course.. so here he is.. 
he was really frisky his first day, activities normally reserved for two day old calves.. like meeting all the horses, his father (Tbone) and chasing goats.. but then he has settled down and seems to be lounging near mom most of the day. Its been about 100 degrees daily so everything hides out and then starts to play around sundown. Hes quite loud as well and seems to have a lot to talk about!
